Yesterday I was at PT and my Physical Therapist cleared me to ride the bike at my gym for 10 to 15 minutes at a resistance of 5. Kirk has to be with me the entire time, but it felt so wonderful to get back on a piece of gym equipment today! I was able to tolerate the bike for 10 minutes and ride 2 miles. My heart-rate remained stable and I only felt a little dizzy when I got off. It was a little emotional for me to walk back into the gym today since I have not been there since the stroke. I was thankful to ride the bike, but felt sad when I saw the other equipment that I used to workout on. However, I know one of these days I will be able to do all of that again. Kirk took photos to celebrate one of my milestones.
