Went to see the doc yesterday, 6 weeks post halo removal–
They are going to start me in PT to try to improve neck mobility which is limited to about 45 degrees left/right. I can stop using my soft collar when riding in a car or walking. I can start swimming and cycling, but not running yet. I can also start driving, which is great. I am tired of depending on others to take me everywhere I need to go.
Going to try to get on the bike this Saturday and see how that goes.
Good to hear and good luck with rest of recovery.
Great news…looks like all of your hard work is certainly paying off!!
I probably don’t need to tell you to enjoy that first ride…congrats!!
Hey Tri-bri,
Thanks for the update. Congratulations on getting your independence back as I am sure that must have been one of the more difficult things to deal with. I’m certainly glad to hear that your recovery is going well and that you are going to be able to swim and bike again. I’m sure that running will be right around the corner as well.
Please keep us updated and good luck with everything.
Dude, that’s awesome progress! Keep up the good work - you’ll be back to racing before you know it.
Congrats! Keep the long view you have developed and ease into the swimming and cycling. You’ve come so far it would be a real shame to go and hurt yourself again because you forget you are still recovering.
Great job; post after you’ve done a swim and ride!
Good for you, that’s great news. Now keep it safe when you get on the bike, man!
