Yes, Frank. Thanks for asking. I have been crazy at work lately and have not been able to get online at all. In any event, the knee is FINALLY moving pretty good!! I am walking with no assistance and not much of a limp (only when I sit too long) and I am at 124 degree bend and climbing!! I am riding the mountain bike as much as possible and can finally clip into my pedals. The more I bike, the better I feel. The strength is there, too. I am able to do all the exercises at therapy with little effort. EXCEPT, that damn stairmaster!! What kind of sicko invented that thing?!!! :scream:
Last week Bob decided he better start getting my bike ready, so he was going to drop the oil, etc. He rode it up and down the street a few times, so I put on my brace and went outside. He killed the engine and said "You can't ride it if you can't start it." :think: So, it took me a few kicks to get my butt off the seat and it started right up. I rode it up and down the street a few times and even started it a few times. It is now just a matter of getting my clutch fixed and off I go!! WooHoo!! I never thought I would be riding this year, much less in the month of July. I am very thankful that I am able to walk, much less anything else!! The rest is just a bonus!
I heard you are back on the bike and doing well also. Glad to hear it!!! Are you going to race again? How is the wife taking you riding again? And how is the little guy doing? Hope all is well.....talk to you soon and thanks for asking!!
