Another Milestone

Today, for the very first time since rehab started, I mounted and dismounted from my Versailles without stabbing myself on the front gear ring. My right leg and calf, what is left of it after atrophy, shouted with glee!

One more step for me. Mankind will have to wait awhile.

Should save on Elastoplast.

One small step for mankind has turned into a major achievement for you. Glad to see you are progressing.
