Cecily, I appreciate your advice. Right now, I am saving my knee and not
riding much. I think I'll continue with the injections every six months and
plan on surgery (maybe) next winter. I HAVE to ride (for mental wellness
-chronic severe PTSD) so I am in the same situation as you were. I miss riding
in the mountains and I love being on the bike. Please, please keep me up to
date on your recovery. You're my Gold Standard.
I am working on a new bike hack for quick release fenders. I'll share when
finished...
Thanks and may the Pedal be with you!Clayton

The thing that really made me realize it was time was not being able to ride
my bike anymore. It was the last thing I had left (after being diagnosed with
rheumatoid arthritis), and it was a huge part of my mental wellness, as well as
the only physical activity I could do with only a minimum amount of pain.
Things had been going downhill steadily for about two years, but not being able
to ride my dream bike (my Betty Foy) was the event that made the decision for
me.

Cecily,
My last easy bikepacking trip with my son has made me a whiny, whimpering
limper. I have talked to a couple of folks here in town that have had knee
replacements that have said, "You'll know when it is time". I will? I have
had eleven or twelve surgeries on various injuries and am burned out on going
through the process....Ugh. I am now in knee conservation mode. I only ride
when I have to (without a car, it's still daily). What made you decide it was
time? Your attitude is great! I am excited for you! Clayton

I'm getting antsy. I want to ride NOW NOW NOW, but I know I need to let my
muscles get stronger. How are you fairing, Clayton?

Thanks for the update Cecily. It sounds like you are recovering quickly. That
gives me hope....WORK HARD! Clayton
