Today is a very good day! This morning I had an appointment with my sports medicine doctor and I received some excellent news about my fractured L3...
Well, it has healed - two weeks ahead of schedule. After some tests and movement analysis, my doctor has given me the all-clear. So this means I can get back to yoga and really go full-steam ahead with training for the upcoming spring and early summer racing season.
Even better news is that my bone density scan revealed very positive results regarding my bone strength. There was some concern that I might have osteoporosis - but the bone density scan has revealed that my bones are actually stronger than average.
All of this news gives much some extreme confidence in my body and overall health. There will be no lingering thoughts in my head when I start the cyclo-cross season in September that my back is not ready for the impacts of cyclo-cross racing.
A good day indeed! 2012 is looking better and better each week.
That is excellent news, Vicki!

good news indeed Vicki, but no need to knock yourself out straightaway

Brilliant news about your back. May see you at yoga sometime.

Thanks for the comments!
Yes, Shona - I'll be back at you on Monday - starting with a basics class for a couple of weeks. How is your back?
Funny, Mike - my dad sent me a very similar message!
Thanks Ross - Marc thinks I should get busy shovelling now.... I think the driveway is too far gone now for anything except a generous spring thaw!

My back is doing well. Hatha yoga is the only one recommended for me to do but I am so thankful that I can do that and feel very lucky to have avoided surgery.
