Post Surgery Check Up Dec. 28th

Can I ride please??? I had my second post surgery check up on Friday the 28th. I was hoping for good news from the doctor. I have been progressing so well and fast that I knew the Doc was going to be impressed. He definitely was impressed and said "it was nice to have a patient that is very motivated." They took x-rays again and the doc said the bone is healing well and you couldn't see the break on the x-ray. He said I can start working on strengthening in Physical Therapy and can ride the bike only inside. I asked him about skiing and he said not yet. What a bummer because as I sit right now I'm looking at about 8 – 10 inches of fresh powder. I have another appointment on January 28th and he expects to let me be free to do whatever after that; I'm counting down the days. It was good to hear that he told me no skiing or riding outside because I have been feeling so well and with all this snow I'm itching to get out and have all my activities back to normal. He said that if I was to fall on my hip right now that there is a chance that it would break again since it's not 100%, so we all know we can't take that route again. As my mom always says "PATIENCE JASON" J
