Welcome back - and good luck with your surgery.
I know that I wouldn't be very happy if I was told to stay off of my bike... so I hope that your physical condition improves (a lot!) and that you and your bike are reunited soon.

What if you got a recumbent? The people riding them sure look relaxed and happy. Plus, they hold most of the land speed records. (More efficient than they look?)

DogMama ~ Sounds like a big ole NO FUN painful diagnosis.
So sorry to hear about it.
I was also going to mention that you might consider a recumbent. A good friend of ours with chronic neck pain (he's tried everything short of surgery) rides one and has ZIP neck pain on it. Yeah, I know it's not quite the same, but there is a lot to be said for pain-free riding. I can vouch for that since I've still got pain at the back of my ilium since my pelvic fracture when I ride longer or hillier courses. It's easy to take riding pain-free for granted until you can no longer do it. Pain takes a lot of fun out of our sport.
Thinking of you and sending healing wishes,

Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery that will hopefully land you back on the bike. Like I mentioned in another post, I honestly believe that attitude has much to do with a persons recovery. You also are headed in the right direction.
My best wishes and thoughts are with you. Try go keep us updated with your progress when you can.

Thanks so much to everybody!!!
I talked to the doctor and we will meet to go over surgery plans, etc. He said that I CAN get back on the bike!!!! Yahoo!!! The only caveat - the disks above & below the fusion will be working extra hard, so I will need to be careful. BUT - I'm the "draw the alphabet with your nose" gal (never knew why I needed that until a few weeks ago
I learned the alphabet-nose thing on THIS FORUM several years ago. You ladies "totally rock" (but you don't tip over, right?!)To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Why do you draw the alphabet with your nose?
