Hi Ron, So happy to hear that about your mom! I'm not afraid of the knee replacement. The sooner they do it, the better, as far as I'm concerned. My only obstacle is the ridiculously long wait times for this surgery in British Columbia.

Re: [RBW] Re: From Sadness to Happiness - I'm Riding Again!
I have found that riding un clipped helps me avoid knee pain issues. I used to clip in (well, wear lycra, ride skinny tires, you know the drill) but gave up to better manage hot weather muscle cramps in my feet. The knee relief was an unexpected bennie for me. And of course, led down that whole unracer trail thing. On 1/29/2014 5:14 AM, Don Compton wrote: Cecily, Great news. Hope you enjoy many happy miles on your Riv.

[RBW] Re: From Sadness to Happiness - I'm Riding Again!
Cecily, I've had the same injections and they work rather well. I still need a knee replacement though, because the cartilage on my femur is worn out. I was told by my knee specialist that they are sooo close to being able to grow new cartilage, that I should try to hold out. I have a worn out cadaver ACL replacement that needs fixing and wear a brace instead when walking, but not riding. It kills to ride with it on, when I try to walk later. There is always the Velominati rule number 5 to fall back on...I try to keep it in mind.
