Well, tomorrow I go in to have my pm placed deeper, behind the muscle I believe. The initial op healed up really well and lets hope this does too! Last ride on the bike yesterday for a while!

On Bike today

Hi
I had my PM put in about a week and a half ago and have not had any problems. Rode the bike in to work today - about 80 miles without any trouble. I have a VFR-800 so not leaning forward too much and it felt fine.

Got to make use of the good weather while it lasts!

Hope your procedure goes well and you can get back on the bike soon

Don

Thanks

Thanks! makes a big difference knowing there's folk out there who know exactly how your feeling and why. Procedure went well, worst part for me is the local. Sore today but that will pass.They did an interrogation of it and all seems to have been working well, interestingly at my last visit it showed a 49% activation, its down to 33% now? Maybe the meds for the other end of the scale has affected the slow beat as well? All the best to any going in today.

Well things a bit easier today. Having it put deeper, behind the muscle has been a lot more painful than the initial op'. Very painful down the inside of my arm and left side. Due apparently to the lymph glands being disturbed/agitated and so swelling. post op visit in two weeks and I will have some questions.

riding again

Managed to get out on the bike this week. Great feeling. Managed pretty well except for some muscle pain on my left arm, but that's due to none use for some time.Change in meds has me feeling so much better.
