Thanks! The doctor said I should be able to ride again in a week. That's perfect as I'm organizing the bike party ride next Friday. And a ride I wanted to do today has been postponed until the end of the month. It's a decisive step for sure. It's weird to finally be done with any chance of kids but I can't see any way I will regret it. I want to do a lot more travel in the next few years and a child would kind of take all that away.

I was really uncertain whether I wanted to make a post about this but it seems to be something worth talking about. It was a friend mentioning his own surgery to me that made me decide to go ahead and call a doctor for myself.
