Wednesday, March 26, 2008 | A Positive story

i set up my old mountain bike on a spinner in my parents' garage. it has longer cranks than the stationary bikes in pt, so it's harder to get the pedals all the way around. i have been pushing through the stiffness and pain in my knee and starting off once again by rocking the pedals back and forth. (for some reason it's a little easier to pedal backwards than forward). 

so just this week i got all the way around one time! this is huge for me. i was an avid cyclist before my accident and i was crushed when i was told that i may never be able to ride again (among other things). so even though i wont be biking anything like i used to, i would be ecstatic if i could just get around the block.
