I’m still doing the lapiplasty limp; but I hope it can be phased out soon. Today I half-walked/half-limped to the drug store; and the main thing now is not to flex the surgical area. That still hurts!

But now I’m walking around indoors without the surgical shoe; and that’s another step forward. Last night I tried on a regular sneaker; and I can get my foot into it now. But it still hurts; so I suppose I have more time before I can ride🙁 Day after tomorrow I get the stitches out; and then we’ll see.

When I can ride again, I’ll start with the hybrid. My cycling shoes are going to be too snug for a while; that I know, because they’re tighter-fitting than my sneakers. I’ll probably need a few weeks’ riding to get my legs back into condition, too.

I hope I can manage longer Sunday rides by New Year’s. Well, at least 10 miles, anyway. It depends on what my foot can tolerate; but my body needs the exercise! At the VERY least, I hope I’m riding to the salvage store very soon. I miss the raids on the grab-bag bins; and I want to hunt for ride food, too.

It will be great when the lapiplasty limp, er, limps off into the past; and I’m back to normal activities!

ABOUT ME

I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.

I live in New Orleans; and  retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
