Some of you may recall my ongoing saga with a sebacious cyst in the groin... right where the saddle rubs... I had the surgery to remove 2 of them in late July... and the doc missed one. So it was removed Aug 24. I was told to stay off the bike for a few weeks. I went on vaca in early Sept and JUST finally rode for the first time in 2 1/2 months on Sat.
I could tell that my fitness level was down some... but it was not as bad as I expected (we didn't climb tho
)... anyway, THAT was the good news. The bad news? The incision opened in one small spot
It didn't bleed but did drain some... I have a call into the doc this AM... all I can figure is that it abcessed slightly... and wasn't healed.
What do you wanna bet they're gonna say to stay off the bike. And I know I need to, until this heals. But WAAAH! I wanna ride...

SO frustrated...
There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

Hmmm. Were you awake when the cysts were removed?? Just curious.
Sorry to hear you're going to be back off the bike...

OUCH! And that's for the not riding AND the unhealed wound.
Good luck.

Wow that sucks. Both the abcess and the not being able to ride.
But especially the not being able to ride. Maybe you could rollerblade until it heals?? That way you are still working your legs and getting exercise.
