Riding The Sonoran Parkway

Today friends and I got to go on a fun bike ride, that led us to the new Sonoran Parkway, a new highway that connects Cave Creek Road to the Carefree Hwy area. It was a beautiful road, with smooth and wide bike lanes. It felt great to be out there, a light sprinkle came here and there, and I felt great. I finished strong. It was great to be there with Chris, Brigham, Rachel, Nate, and Joey.
A great way to start of the 4th of July!

I had been having pain in my right leg for quite sometime. It was determined that I was having some disc degeneration at the L4/L5 section of my spine. Dr. Ponce, the same neuro surgeon who did my DBS surgery performed a fusion surgery. I was in the rehab center for Christmas and came home on the 29th of December. The whole experience was quite an ordeal to say the least. Having Parkinsons combined with back surgery was not fun. I could write a long report on the whole experience but I won't at this time. A year has passed since then and I am finally feeling like I am feeling relief from the pain. Thank goodness!
