An hour on the trainer at base-building pace went very well this evening. No signs of cramping or claudication, no detectable difference in sensation from one leg to another.
However, after more than four months off the bike, the ol' chamois was feeling pretty thin and the saddle pretty hard...

The All Clear
Today I got the go ahead from Dr. Blecha to resume exercise. I'll be on my trainer this evening, pedaling for the first time in four and a half months. Never have I so looked forward to riding in place.
In the three months since my surgery, my incision area has presented no problems whatsoever. Although I haven't done any more exercising than simple walking, there have been no signs of claudication (the medical term for the lactate-type fatigue that I was experiencing). However, I have battled some unexpected post-surgical complications that have not involved my incision, but that have put me under the care of a urologist and made me feel rather old and vulnerable. I'm hoping that over time these will fade away.
