Good luck on your bike ride, I really believe that it's very important for anyone with a disability to keep physically active. Hopefully your ride helps create awareness and encourages people to remain active in any way possible.
I went and got a cortizone injection yesterday, I cant get them often but when I do, they really help out for 2 - 3 months. Biggest problem these days is with my ankle and how stubborn I am about wearing my brace in the summertime because I dont like people seeing it and asking questions. Running anywhere, due to the knee injury is out of the question. Hiking and walking on uneven ground, due to the ankle, is out of the question. But I can ride my bike and I really like it. I decided not to be that guy that dies from a heart attack or stroke, at least not because of a poor diet and being inactive when there was still things left that I could do.
