Hi guys n gals! I've not been very active on the board for some time. In fact, I haven't been riding all that much. This after commuting for about three years regardless of, well just about anything except ice.

August of last year I kinda had a pulmonary embolism and then needed a little surgery on my lung. Chest tubes, lots of pain, long recovery, yadda, yadda, yadda...

I'm pretty much recovered now, but I just haven't been able to get back in the swing of things. I just can't figure out why things have changed for me.

It is harder for me now. I have a paralyzed diaphragm on one side and don't seem to have the stamina that I did prior to my surgery. Perhaps that's taken the shine off.

Any suggestion to bring the joy back to my commuting??
