    I don't know how I missed that you were injured. I am so sorry. I hope that you get some answers from the MRI. I was just thinking about you yesterday. I heard the Queen song and wondered why I had not seen posts lately.

    I will send you some healing Karma.

    Yeah!

    My MRI came out negative for disc herniation. I am so glad. My MD put me on a steroid Medrol pack for a week and it really cut down the inflammation and pain. I have gradually increased my ability to walk from 10 minutes to 40 minutes. Yesterday I took my dogs on an easy 2-mile hike. I took my pruning shears to cut back some areas so I can ride my bike up there (soon I hope!) The area behind my house is open space and has cattle on it. The cows have made a nice single track up a canyon that is perfect for hiking and biking. My own private trail. Just gotta look out for the cow pies.

    That is such great news. I am so happy for you. Steroids can work wonders when used correctly. You will be back at it in no time!

    Awesome news! I'm off of my bike for short while and I too am very anxious to ride again. I hope you are back on your chariot asap!

    Yay! No disc issues!

    Keeping my fingers crossed for the steroids!

    Great news! Glad to hear it isn't a disc problem. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll start making some quicker recovery progress.

    Hopefully you can at least get on a stationary or road bike soon!
