I just have to share my fantastic last 20 minutes and I rode a whole 3 miles. :eek:

After 5 months and 6 days, today I finally got back on my beloved 'Orange' bike.

Oh wow, I know I had the most stupidest grin on my face but I don't care. :p

The first couple of minutes I was wondering if I was doing the right thing and what if I was to fall off but I didn't and it was great.

Not sure what my physiotherapist will think when I tell him tomorrow but as far as I am concerned, my broken back is all good now.

So, especially for jessmarimba and milkbone, your turn will come to get back in the saddle.

Clock.......ticking louder than ever!

Woohoo! You give me hope! So glad you're all back to normal!!

I actually went to a fitter here the other day to look into getting a bike that I can "grow with" - enough room for adjustments that I can go from much more upright to normal position over time :) He's worked with some similar injuries and I was really excited.

P.S. I think your physiotherapist might be more concerned with the "I wanna do a wheelie!" quote :)

Phew, what a nice surprise to come back to this thread and read all the lovely comments, it's is such a warm feeling knowing how the girls on this site can really empathise with situations. :)

Oh yes, my rather fit and cute physio, well he kind of grinned when I told him about the bike ride but advised I do not push myself and only a couple of a miles at a time, especially as I did suffer the following day and night.

Good job I did not tell him about the swimming pool flumes I accidentally found myself on with my young eight year old grandson...............but that's another story. :eek:

Thanks again.
