Good news..................finally.
I saw my orthopaedic specialist today and he is pleased with my progress so far. I get to start physio next week, and I get to drive starting tomorrow, so stay off the sidewalks.
More importantly, both he and my family doctor have given me permission to begin riding a bicycle as part of my rehabilitation programme. So, now I'm in the market for a bicycle. I bought one for Jo for her birthday and may purchase something similar for myself. Now if we could just get some respite from the rain.
There are several flat bike paths locally which Jo has already begun riding. They are former rail lines and pass through beautiful countryside according to Jo. I am looking forward to getting out of here and riding on the trails and through town as well.
I already felt better today and this news really added to my sense of well being. I will take my time and will pace myself. My long term goal is to eventually be able to ride to work one day a week. It's a journey of 21 kilometers as the crow flies(sort of), but I will have to go through the village of St. Jacobs as I cannot go on the highway from the roundabout to Waterloo. That probably won't happen until next year, but a fella's got to have some goals, right?
