Baby Steps

It's been 11 days since my growth factor injection. It sure got worse after that. While I was able to ride for several hours before the injection, there was no way I could even to 5 min for the last 10 days: walking, every step hurts and riding was not even on the horizon. I sure hope it will get better after it's gotten worse...

Ended up doing nothing at all for 5 days. Mid week last week I was able to start doing some core strengths again and even the elliptic trainer.

Today: 30 min of spinning with virtually no resistance (HR<115). First little test was a success.

I still have 2 1/2 weeks until I have to make the final decision on RAAM. After a challenging 11 days, today was a small success. Will see the MD tomorrow and find out what he has to say...

Patience and living with ambiguity are the name of the game. Both not my strengths so I am seeing all this as a personal growth opportunity :-)
