Default I just had surgery.....

I had my gallbladder taken out yesterday/Friday. And of course it's gonna be 65 on Monday[:@]

You guys think it will be OK for me to ride Monday, 3 days after?

Input please!

Donnie

I'm not sure but your doctor has probably already suggested a rest period that extends past that date. Could that be the reason you are seeing a second opinion from the HDforums medical school? Good luckwith your recovery. Dont push it.

That would be a good question for your Dr. or Surgeon I would think. I'll bet you already asked them. Gonna be 63 and windy here in NE. I'm planning a 250 mile ride today to welcome the first half way decent day since early November. May your recovery be speedy.

It's gonna get warm and stay warm soon, plenty of time to ride. I wouldn't take any chances.

Nah, go for it Donnie - you'll know as soon as you swing your leg over and plunk your *** down in the seat if it feels ok. Just watch the bumps and take it easy! Gotta break those stitches in sooner or later! Ahhh, on second thought, maybe wait a couple of more days - LOL!

Donnie, hope you recover real soon................. I would limit my ride to just sitting on the bike. Just say a few vrooooooooms.
Maybe turn it on and check your turn signals, and lights............ See if you can bend over to check the winter air in your tires.

How many HP did you gain having the gall bladder removed??

Get well soon,

DougJ
