Thanks for your post Namaste! I didn't have any surgery although it was close so I just firgured I would heal quicker. But that is ok. I do see a little progress from week to week. I go back to the orthopedic on Tuesday and have 3 pt appts.

As I have not lifted weights in many I am looking forward to beginning once I get the ok from the pt. Like you said, I plan to be better and stronger than before the fall.

I am so ready to move out the exercise bike and get my mts bike on the trainer until I get a better range of motion to ride it outside. Then my road bike will take the place on the trainer. Now that we are changeing seasons I may not ride my road bike on the road until next year but we will see what kind of winter we have. My birthday is in Dec. and I loved the idean someone else had on this board of riding a mile for every year of your birthday. I will be 50 on Dec 4th and if it is a mild day I really would love to ride whatever I can do on my mtn bike. My husband who works weekends is already planning to take th weekend off as my b-day is on a Sunday.

Thanks again for your sound advise and information. You and the others that have posted have been wonderful and I really put a smile on my face.
