So I have to work today, ya. So it has been 11 days since my septoplasmo procedure, septum correction. I am really wanting to go for a ride. Breathing has never been better. I had no black eyes, just some soreness after words. The pain has receded, and I took my bike to the shop today to have a few minor thing's done, including having the cartridge switched to my new rear wheel.
I figure I can start riding to work on Wednesday, and take the bus home for the first couple days if I have too. I just want to ride my bike. I never thought I would jone's for riding my bike.
Plus I have new rims to break in

Go for it, but maybe start short to see how it goes. Sounds like you're doing great.

My commute to work is short, only about 8.5 miles. It's short since 20% or so is done hill. Thanks, I am feeling Great. My wife woke me up the other night asking if I was alright, she could not hear me breathing

Nice, I had a septoplasty four years ago. Give yourself some extra time, I remember going for a walk the week after and having to sit down every 200 yards. Was extremely frustrating as I did not expect it to kick my ass that much.

I had that happen to me last week four days after the procedure. Since I was using the light rail for transportation to work. Which is about four blocks from my house. By the time I got to work I was sweating and light headed. That sucked.

Jesus, you went to work that soon? I took a full week off, if not more. Of course, I was working groundskeeping at the time, so the "no lifting or exertion" would have rendered me about as helpful as your average lawn ornament.

I scheduled it for a Thurs, which is my Friday. Than took of Sunday, and Monday, returned to work on Tuesday. So actually five days after. I do milieu management at a local homeless shelter, so not a lot of lifting for me. Which allowed me to return so soon. Yes it hurt like hell, but not bad. Heck I could breath which was a huge deal for me. So it was worth it.
