I had knee surgery last October and I've had Covid-19 and a TIA stroke since then. I have been told I must lose weight and improve cardiovascular conditions so, I have returned to cycling after a decade long hiatus. However, a week ago I pushed myself too hard and ended up in a world of pain for several days. I'm not 25 anymore, that's for sure and 17 miles just over an hour proved to be crippling.

(For reference, I checked my old log and my best time ever was in 1998. A 40 mile course in 1hour, 59 minutes......)

Thanks Dave. After all this walking one block to the mailbox leaves me aching. Saw the surgeon yesterday and he's telling me to just take it slow until they remove the catheter. A little walking is OK but no lifting over 5 lbs, no twisting, no bending, no nothing. Oh well.

Listen to the man!

No long term sitting too! Rolling up a towel and placing in the small of the back does help some when sitting.

It is hard to keep, just follow instructions.

Go the PT when they allow you and listen to the pro's there.

It will get better. Just not as fast as you want or like.

Geez, that is miserable. Be strong, Dude.
