OUCH!My other happy place, pedaling around the hills and riversView attachment 331905
Recovering from a broken hip, riding around on the mountain bike -you can see the crutch strapped to my back Any sort of breakdown and the wife would get a phonecall to come pick me up, not walking anywhere
Got run over by a lady in a 4WD. Fiddling with her phone or the radio I think. Ironically, while out exercising to keep fit and active into my advancing years. Lol. That worked out well. Bulged discs in my back, and screwed up my knee. Have to keep active and moving or I'm screwed. Bit of a balancing act to not do too much, but still enough to keep mobile, flexible and strong.OUCH!
How did you break your hip?
I've got osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and my lumbar spine is all buggered up - but that's from 75 years of life and occasionally abuse. Fortunately, I haven't broken any bones yet, but have to be careful ..,
I understand your dilemma well. Exercise is good for my skeletal problems, but I've been exercise intolerant for about 20 years, since my mitral valve replacement. Since then, my heart has been good mechanically, but the electrics are really cooked. I've had two ablations plus a pacemaker since then. I get the distinct feeling that I'm just fighting a rear guard action ... I'm still here though ... .Got run over by a lady in a 4WD. Fiddling with her phone or the radio I think.

OuchWhat tragically-disfiguring injury? I should warn you not to trifle with the Dread Pirate Roberts.
Especially while he is recovering from a bicycle accident.
Will THIS guy be okay at the grocery store?

I think I'd take sympathy over odd looks ... No mask unless required (or sensible).What tragically-disfiguring injury? I should warn you not to trifle with the Dread Pirate Roberts.

I am recovering quickly (after the lung took 3 days in hospital), but I take your response to mean "No mask" in answer to my question.I do hope that you will recover fully and quickly
