Well, saw the orthopedic surgeon today and we decided to do surgery on my right-hand for my trigger finger(middle finger) and carpal tunnel at the same time. Neither will impact how long recovery time will be. My surgery is scheduled for December 30th. Don't have a time yet. I could've scheduled it for Dec 22nd, but didn't want that right before Christmas. Doc says I can't ride the bike for about 3 weeks. I could ride a stationary right away if I wanted to, but I'm not purchasing a stationary just for 3 weeks. I want the money to go for Defy 1 a bit later. I'll just do a lot of walking in that time period. So, I'll be riding up until Dec 29th and then pick it up again around the end of January.
