Good news!
I took my FZ for a short ride a week ago just to see how it felt, and then this morning I took it to work again and felt great.
Such a huge stress relief to not have to sit in traffic.
Though I have lost enough weight that I noticed the seat is less comfortable than before, I seem to have lost some fat in my rear end.... hahaha.
It is so nice to feel good enough to ride again, hopefully I can ride the bike all week!
This last weekend it felt like I turned a small corner in my recovery. Hopefully I can continue on this path, recovery has been so slow it was driving me nuts. Took me a few weeks to accept that I had to stop expecting something faster. I still get really worn out when walking and especially when taking stairs, but more normalcy has returned to my life.
