had a few accidents in my time that sidelined me for up to two weeks. i'm admittedly not the best patient, rarely sick and not real good at laying around. various concussions, hip injury, rib(s) injuries, shoulder
injuries and back injuries have conspired over the years to make me say "no riding." my biggest thing has always been to get up and at least walk (with a cane at one stretch) two blocks at my worst.
hurt like hell and took 20 minutes but the relief at getting out of bed and trying to avoid atrophy made up for it. slow, flat spinning is better than no spinning at all. i've found laying around is my worst enemy
and i've always felt that doing at least some physical activity, however insignificant, is helpful towards recovery.
