You may be out of action riding, but we still look forward to your insight and contributions. As stated, they (the doctors) generally know what is best and the end result is that you will be here with us for some time to come. So heed all recovery therapies and you will again be mounting your loyal steed before you know it. Take care and best of luck with your surgery and recovery. Ken

Damn, that is a major repair. Please check back and keep us posted. Had a coworker who had similar surgery, surgery was planned but then turned into emergency like now! He's back at work. Best wishes from the states.

So this is not an experience i would reccomend but better than the horrible alternative. I head home for about ten weeks r n r tomorrow morning.
All i can say is find out about heart health and your own situation
I have been incredibly fortunate to be cared for by excellent medical personel, in surgery and post care and now my good lady wife
Look after yourselves, read those little signs and talk to your GP
cheers

Glad to hear the recovery starts, but... geez, 10 weeks? Umm... maybe you need someone to fly down and take yer bike out a few times, just to keep it in shape??

Please get healed up soon brother Ade!

Yeah Greg takes a full 3 months for the full bone knit to original strength- the 10 weeks is more being muscle happy and could be 8 weeks so im opting halfway but even the surgeon said, ”you’ll just know when its the right time”
Ive already had an offer to put my bike to bed any night i think needed i gotta say, apart from the sales staff and a couple of mechanics, the Wasp has only been ridden by ........ me!

I can't say from personal experience but work inside is one thing and the access needed for said repairs can change ones life taking away a level of independence that most outgoing folk have hard time with. Thoughts are with you Ade and I trust that you have compassionate care givers and openess in regards to this temporary situation and that you know each day you will get stronger.

Think of future mods to the Wasp and build a list...

Kind regards...

Hey Hey Hey,
i took my first ride today, It was 10 weeks last Thursday since they went heart diving in my chest. I have done 10 Re-Hab sessions ,with my last one next Tuesday.
It felt golden to fire up the bike with the gear on, Kez handed me my helmet at the end of the drive and off I went!

Only went out for a 20 minute run but it felt soooo good to be back on the road. Tomorrow off for more blood tests but I get there myself on the bike. Then I meet my boss for lunch, on the bike. Liberty, yay! I am free to go when and where again all at my own pace. Not that I have had limitations, but now I am in the hot seat again so to speak. Until you havn't had the freedom I don't think you know how much you'll miss it!

Anyway, recovery has been good, I make steady progress. The nursing staff are happy with my recuperation. I won't resume any work 'til 23 Feb and then only 50% but we'll start upping the hours from there.
Not a fun process to go thru but I would recommend you check with your DR that you are in good condition. I feel so much better now that I did 2.5 months ago!

Ride safe folks
ATGATT

Glad to hear the repair work went well and that you're out riding again! I hope your odometers have a great many more miles in them.
