I think it will. The first ride was better than expected, and it only gets better.
It's kind of amazing, the good things that happen when you finally take charge, isn't it? I stayed with therapy (my therapist is a pretty active cyclist) till the insurance ran out, but I make it clear from the outset that a full recovery was possible, and that he and I were going to make it happen. There is a ways to go but we're on track.
I understand about that "bunch of other stuff", Roody. Some things that would be a big deal by themselves become about insignificant when you can't walk or get in and out of bed without help.
