First post-surgery ride. 6-weeks and 3 days after L4/5 Lami-Disc. Yesterday, I picked up a friend's teenager in a goodbye hug, and realized that was not a good choice. All seemed okay, but today I thought I felt something vaguely. I almost skipped my ride today, but I was feeling really well. I decided to give it a try, and it was good. Strength is decent. Not a long enough ride to warm up, nor test stamina. It felt very wimpy though. This was on my mountain bike, so much more drag for the same speed. Very sweaty and huff-puff from the ride. Now, I rest, and see if I feel weird tomorrow. Next PT day is on Tuesday, which is really turning into full-body strength training. I was supposed to go try out the gym today, but I don't think that's happening.
