Well I am now 1-month post surgery. Just getting over a cold so it has made it hard to determine how I am progressing. Things that tired me out when I first got home don't tire me out as much as they used to, so I think I am improving.... Read more.

Right there with you at 1month. Took my bike off the stand for a 15min easy street ride. Seemed ok. My issue is still vertigo.

That first night in the hotel without the beeping and blooping noises of the hospital was delightful. Got my best nights sleep in a few weeks. Seem to get tired easily though Iâ€™m sure that is expected. Heading home tomorrow. Canâ€™t wait for the comforts of home.

It surely is expected to tire easily for weeks. And then...Yes, there is something about being home that makes the aches and fatigue seem so much less so.

Rose Madura

There's no place like home.
