Prior to my work related accident last November, I was bicycling back and forth to work (8.3 miles in less than an hour, twice a day), bicycling pretty much everywhere on my days off. I'm guessing my weekly average of miles was near 90 miles, or better. I was in pretty good shape.
Today, I was able to go down three flights of stairs, by myself, and walked slowly to the mail box to get my mail. I also did a small load of laundry and light housekeeping. I'm pretty tired, but felt I crossed a threshold today.
When my heart study concludes the end of March, and if they rule out all the questions they had earlier in January, then I will get to go to pool therapy.
Not sure how long it will take to get back to pre-November condition.... but I do what I can. My doctors and nursing team is proud of me for not giving up.
