Ok, well there is some good news and some bad news....
Good news: All 7 fractured vertebrae are healed.
Bad news: I have a protruding disc in my lumbar region. It has gradually been causing me more pain so I hope that it isn't getting worse. Also, I have edema and swelling around my compression fractured T3 & T4 that are causing nerve pain in my back and shoulders.
Basically, I probably shouldn't be riding again just yet. Its going to be really hard not to since I now have a lovely new bike gracing the garage. I need to focus on getting healthy and healing my back fully before I think about riding. I think I'm going to hold off on riding until January and try to do what I can to help heal myself.
Maybe I can race in the Spring, I hope so!!!
Wish me luck and think good thoughts for me!
