So... because I got permission to take a little bike ride from the nurse practicioner, I decided to take a spin on the boardwalk this morning.
I don't know if it's because I'm totally out of shape, still not breathing regularly from surgery, or because I haven't really riden a bike in YEARS, (or a combo of all 3), but it was HARD.
I had to stop twice to do breathing exercises. I know I haven't really been expanding my lungs all the way since I got out of the hospital. I guess I naively thought that riding the bike would FORCE me to do it... but it just made me choke on my own breath.
Maybe I should try walking for a few weeks. Hold off on the bike until I feel 100%... because as it is now, I'm not 100%. More like... 83%. Or 83.4%.
