Welcome back. I know a little bit of what you've been through - I've had injuries and other problems that have kept me off the bike for similar periods of time. "normal" (i.e., non-riders) in my life have no idea how much injury this does to my spirits. When I haven't been able to ride and haven't even been sure if I could ever come back to riding, I haven't been able to read this forum - it's just too psychically painful.

I truly hope you are on the road to full recovery and have many miles in your near future. Of course, you'll have to take it one ride at a time, and have some patience, but there's nothing like a bike ride to lift one's spirits, even if it's a shadow of the ride you used to do.
