You bet I am! Perhaps you recognize my photo...



Seriously though, walking is what my ortho encourages. No cycling of any kind due to the flexation of the spine likely causing scar tissue. It has been amazing that I was able to ride regularly for up to 3 hours or so without much problem since my injury. I couldn't walk, but I felt quite good on my bike. Now, since the surgery I stand straight and am able to walk fairly comfortably, and I get to wear a fancy corset to stabilize my spine.

Thanks for the encouragement guys!
