I went to the doctor the other day and he doubled my dose of medication that I take for Rheumatoid Arthritis. He not only gave me the go-ahead to do the Tour de Cure ride (63 miles) in 3 weeks but he encouraged me to do it. My wife shared my Tour de Cure story on her Instagram and Facebook accounts and I have raised over a thousand dollars in 5 days from friends and family. It has been a pretty rough road for me with this TKR and I am not sure if I am any better than before but I guess time will tell. Thank all of you for your replies and thoughts on this thread, boomer
