Day 48 - Another Month to Go

I saw my doctor today. They took x-rays as I expected. The x-rays looked good. The good news is the fracture is healing. The bad news is I can't ride yet. My doctor said I need at least another month to go before I can get back on the bike. He basically told me to not push it too much. The femur is the biggest bone in the body and needs time to heal he said. No running. No jumping. No biking. I was disappointed to hear that. He did say walking was ok and I could put all my weight on it when I was ready. The consolation was he said I could ride an indoor stationary bike. We have a few at work in the gym, so I am going to try to ride one later in the week to see how I do. That and continue my rehab exercises using a five lb. ankle weight for resistance.
