Thanks for picking up on Lon's message, you two.
I have another story, about a neighbor. He was riding in some long distance race in 1998, I think, and a truck collided with him. He almost lost one leg (he kept it, in fact) and had significant damage in the other and in the hip and God knows where else. He had pins all over the place and did phys therapy for about a year. Then he started riding again (started up again in haelth club spin classes, I think) and came back just fine. It took a while, but he's now riding stronger than ever...sort of a Lance story. Today he rides fast centuries and time trials regularly. This year, his race across OR team came in second in the 4 person teams and he has done the RAO a couple times since his accident.
My humble (and easy for me to say) suggestion is, buy yourself a membership to 24 Hour Fitness (or some other place that has cycling classes) very soon. It'll give you something to look forward to, and it may not be long before you can use it.
