Holy Cow Be Careful What You Ask For !

When I started this journey my insurance had a requirement that you do a 10 week program so my mind set has been to have surgery in august. Well I got an email today saying they no longer require that and I also got my approval letter. so I am scheduled for May 21!!!! I am soo excited and scared. I have a trip planned 4 days after surgery, does that seem too soon? I won't be driving just riding. I really can't cancel but does anyone see a risk with this?

  • I could have easily taken a trip 4 days after surgery. The only thing is you will have to make sure and have plenty of water and your protein drinks. If you are traveling it might be wise to invest

update. My surgery is scheduled for this thursday 5-17. I will be going to 1 week post on 5-24 and traveling to florida on 5-25. Nurse at surgeon's office said this would be fine. I will only be riding and stopping to walk. We have rented a condo so I will just be lying on beach and chilling in condo, except for going to the graduation which is the reason for the trip. wish me luck!!!!!
