The right knee has seen about 5,000 miles and 140,000 feet of climbing since it was `installed' in August of '18. Radical -- RADICAL -- improvement. Though I experience fatigue from muscles and ligament there isn't a hint of pain.
If the rehab for the left knee goes as well as that of the right knee I'll be on the trainer in a few days and on the road in about 3 weeks.
There is no question that I am fortunate.
- I have the time to invest in bicycling.
- I have, though modest, a lifestyle and budget that permits investment in cycling related things.
- I have a family that values the fact that cycling is my `fun.'
- There is a medical establishment that has perfected joint replacement.
- I have Medicare.
