Lori,

Having had pleurisy, I can empathize! It hurts! Glad to hear its feeling a little better. Sounds like by now, you NEED to get out and ride. LIke you said, try it slow and easy and don't plan on going too far. You'll need to work your way back into activity gradually. But, believe me, you'll be glad you went out once you do it! Even a little bit of exercise will make you feel like you are more alive. You'll know you can do it again and will feel so much better. Trust me.........
