Still on opiates for the post surgical pain, but that's improving. I'm amazed I can already limp/walk on this leg. Hope to get enough range of motion to pedal a stationary bike by the end of August. Hope to be on a real bicycle by late September/early October. I think that's realistic. We'll see. I'm in a rehab hospital now, should be home Tuesday or Wednesday.
That's great news and very encouraging to me. Keep it up.
