Pretty sure I'm headed to surgery though and am wondering how long I'll be off the bikes.

For now I've replaced riding with two hour long walks a day. I do get on an indoor recumbent for a couple of 15-20 minute sessions each day. I've gone from 3 cups of coffee each morning down to just one and plan to wean off that this week. No other caffeine is consumed. I've cut out pretty much most sugary stuff since that's an inflammatory. Try not to sit around too much but I just retired, it's winter here and snowy already, so there's only so much to keep me busy inside.

I'll tell you what. I can deal with normal everyday pain just fine but this now being able to empty the bladder is driving me batty!
