Back on the road. .

11 days after a left knee meniscectomy (partal removal of meniscus) I am back to my commute on my Rans. The surgery PA told me to becareful as to not over do it, so I will be cycling a few times a week to start. Once I got to work I felt a little discomfort but nothing like prior to the sugery. The stairs up to the lab went easy with need of the hand rail. This was a striking difference to the one commute prior to surgery where I almost couldn’t even make the stairs due to the pain.

This morning stats:

  • Miles     3.9
  • Time:    15 minutes
  • Weather: Overcast 39 Degrees
  • Gear used: North Face Goretex shoes, REI Cycling Jacket, Cabelas polypro and windshield fleece pants.

Green Light!

Just got back from my post op follow up on my knee surgery on the 19th. It’s doing great and I got the green light to get back on my Rans. Tomorrow morning I get back to doing some of my commute on my bike again, I can’t wait to see how much of difference the having the knee meniscus cleaned up. I already can tell the difference going up and down stairs, so much less pain already.
