Hi Clayton, I am very sorry to hear all of that. I have a lot of spine damage and for a while was forced by back pain to a recumbent, both two wheelers and trikes. I don't like them as much as an upright but they are super comfortable and it is riding and is enjoyable. After some years I was able to get back onto my uprights and now ride a Roadeo, a Fargo on bike trails and a suspended 29'er on mellow single track.
>From your description it sounds like recumbents might be worth a try and might either let you get back to the Atlantis full time eventually or keep riding it some of the time by mixing it up.
