I didn't realize it was as bad as it was until I saw this picture Kev took. But hey...I just had surgery 2 weeks ago. I wonder how long I can use that excuse....hmmmm.
But my put together self and outfit is not what this post is about. It's about me going to the gym and riding the stationary bikes. Yes, bikes. There are two different kinds so I wanted to try them both to see how I could do. It was a little tough to get started, mainly cause I was scared I could do something wrong. But I got to pedaling and I rode probably for 20 minutes between the two bikes. It was actually pretty funny cause at different times the bike would flash, start pedaling or pedal faster. And I was already pedaling and at this point going as fast as I felt safe to go. So it was a slow bike ride, but I'm not so much looking for a workout on the bike but really trying to get some good movement in. The workout part will come as I work harder to build speed and resistance. Overall, the bike riding went well. I know it is something I will be doing at PT each visit, but I'd like to do some biking and walking on off days as well.
Today was also my last day of PT and Karen had nothing but great things to say about how I've done for the past two weeks as well as some things to keep working on and very positive words of encouragement for my continued recovery. She was real nice and I was happy with our workouts. I'm sure going to miss my leg massages, but I will definitely be requesting them at the new PT office starting Wednesday.
