Glad to hear that! > Bought myself a new helmet yesterday :) > I've bought some Pearl Izumi Pittards leather gloves and a wrist guard, just in case. In fact, I've been wearing them for the last few weeks while jogging, in case I trip. I don't have enough strength to support myself for any length of time, but getting on the bike will be one more thing towards functional recovery, even if I can't do much more than cycle to the post depot to pick up a parcel. I've been doing the physio exercises scrupulously and am close to full extension in the wrist, although it's still a struggle, and am getting a lot of improvement in flexion, though there's still a long way to go in that. Abduction and adduction are almost there. On Monday the surgeon said he expected full functional recovery, but about 90% of full movement. That's better than the last prognosis, but I still reckon I can do better than that. -- Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
