my neck is healed

[Fred T]

Saw the Doc today. He said my neck is now fully fused and I’m “out of the woods” and should have a full recovery. I no longer need my neck brace and I can drive as much as I want. I still need to take it easy as far as riding is concerned and not really ride for a while yet. He said that I will be completely healed after 6 months but I have beaten his fusion prediction so far so I guess I’ll have to see how I feel as time go’s on. He said it would take 3 months to fuse and I did it in 9 weeks! (Operation April 21 and x ray on June 22) I still should not do anything that I can crash at yet. He said that I no longer need to see him, just take it easy for a while. He said “don’t fall down!” I want to Mountain bike but for now I can only ride roads, sand and gravel roads, 2 tracks on the MTB. The bone although fused is still strengthening so I will wait for a while and be happy that I can ride my bike a little, maybe do some pit riding on the mini and keep healing up for now. The more I exercise the faster the bone will heal. I’ve been spinning on the trainer and weight lifting every other day.
