One step at a time, got my new trike

[Flybye]

I am so excited for you!
How are you doing?
How's the pain?
What color or recumb? If I remember, those ones come in array of colors! If it is the same one as I am thinking of, I saw it in purple the other day - really nice looking.
Are you working much?
Do you have any idea of when the Dr. will give you the A-OK?
Will you post picts?

After you rest from answering Flybye I'm wondering how you decided on this particular model?

Doing ok, signed a contract for a new place to move in end of June, LOVE IT!! Pain, tolerable with all the appropriate meds, and hoping to move away from them asap. Back, knees, and arm still acting up but walking around, working half days, and sleeping 4-9 hours. Have no patellar reflex on left leg now. Doc thinks disk is heriated, physical therapy (MacKenzie techniques) not successful. Still need to discuss what we're gonna do. I am anti knife so that's not an option. Been doing recumbent exercise bike, so the transition to a recumbent trike likely to be easy. It might be hard to see through the tears of joy, but I think I will be able to handle it.
Trike is yellow. Seat black, but otherwise, looks just like the one below with a HUGE flag and I think I might add ten or twelve flags. No more invisibility while riding. FREAKIN EXCITED!!!!

Ooooooh, I want. I like is that lil' headrest. I like the idea of 'bents but riders seem curled up like shrimp and it look like your neck would be tired.

This is perfect. And it looks zippy and peppy and light and fast and I looooove the lines. Nice bike

Yes! I know this one! Tears of joy are so wonderful, and they come at the most unlikely places. It's okay, the butterflies will help keep your eyese clear, too.

Hugs,

How exciting for you!!! Good luck, and take your first rides one pedal stroke at a time -- this is too cool to rush!

I got so much pleasure from reading your thread.

You sure have a lot of guts, it's people like you that really encourage others to persevere.

I love the American expression 'You really rock'.................but you do.

You have so made me smile and shed a few tears too!

Take care.

I got the recumbent bug and today got a Rans Rocket for super cheap. So now I have THREE bikes (diamondframe cannondale that will be rehomed, catrike speed and rans rocket) that I am not allowed to ride. I am banking on the second week in June to be rolling. I go back to the doc to review my MRI and discuss options, hoping for just an injection in the disc and nothing more on June 9. BUT I am bringing pics of the bike/trike in to show the doc hoping he'll say, "Give it a try." My birthday is one week from tomorrow so clearance to ride would be the most awesome present ever. Life is grand, ain't it?
