Longjohn ★ Posted January 13, 2020 Share #9 Posted January 13, 2020 When I broke my clavicle and scapula my surgeon said I would be back biking long before I was able to go back to work. I love my doctor. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my doctor. For me its the same, 12 weeks. However when the PA filled oot my disability paperwork, she put 12 weeks from the day I went home, not the operation. So I will bike one week before going to work. I feel good If I had to go back after the first, I could have. Although I'm sleeping much better now and sleeping in, so the rest feels nice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the time between cycling and going back to work I spent a week cycling in Virginia. Everywhere I rode I saw deer taunting me. I could just imagine if just before I was able to go back to work I hit another deer and had to start over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have lung biopsies/surgeries in my future. Not looking forward to that. Glad your recovery is going well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking forward to that. Glad your recovery is going well. Thank you. The pain was a lot. I'd rank the peak at 8/10. But it was from the incision which was several inches. The pain felt like a muscle pull, because they cut through everything. The Norco helped tremendously. I felt much better after aboot 3-4 weeks once it started to heal. The broken rib (from the surgery) was hardly an inconvenience. In the hospital I had an epidural, which is common for thoracic surgery. Now I only have numbness along the incision which is like "who cares"?. Lot of of lung operations can be performed w/ minimally invasive procedures however my tumor was too large for this, and they had to open me up because to cut it oot of a bronchial tube and splice it all back together, and remove the upper right lobe. My recovery went very well and quick, but I owe a lot of that to being of middle age and someone who is athletically fit from an endurance sport for over 30 years. I hope all goes well with you. Side note, I had 3 bronchoscopies, where they went thru my mouth into my lungs. If the biopsies can be taken from inside the lung, this is an out patient procedure that lasts minutes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
