Changing seasons for stroke rehab

Ten days ago I probably went for my last cross-country ski of the year. 2 hours worth with no cardio exertion at all. It was a pathetic winter, I wanted feet of snow for extra therapy. Two days later I took my bike to the local bike shop for a tuneup and to get the one-handed braking system SlidePad installed and a mirror attached. The coming weekend is supposed to hit 50F. This year is going to be the year I bike all over town. It took 2.5 years after my first analysis of how to accomplish this. I will start with a dedicated bike path 6 blocks away on side streets.

Don't follow my steps, your doctor and therapists control your recovery.

  1. I think you meant: "YOU, your doctor and therapists control your recovery."

    After our 2-year anniversaries, we find out we're all on our own. Last time I visited my physiatrist, even he said he wasn't necessary anymore; I'm seeing him next week.

    1. True Barb, but following my ideas without medical approval would be dangerous and stupid.
