I had a left foot operation last November that kept me from riding for a little over a month. Managed to get some riding in after that and went to the Yuma Ryde-In. Well the operation was not successful and I had to have it re-done last month. Today the Dr. gave me the OK to put weight on the foot as long as I wear a walking boot. It is still painfull. Not walking for the last month has taken it's toll on this old 72 YO body. I find that other muscles now get sore and there will be a period of rehab. But..... My pals are riding tomorrow on our weekly Wednesday lunch ride. I WILL be there. It may take me a little longer to get from the bike to the Cafe. But I will manage. Oh, and the Dr. will never know..... Jim
