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.
