On Feb 14 I got my sciatica fixed but wasn't allowed to ride. About the time I was allowed, the sciatica came back with a vengeance and I ended up using a walker.  
Not to long ago I went in for a steroid injection and the next day I felt better, it was that fast.
Now I am wondering how long it will last and should I order a wheelchair.  
My wife says hell no!
Tuesday I did my first ride in a long time, only 11 miles but it felt good to get back on the bike.
Of course, being an optimist I plan to carry my cane on the bike.

It's hell getting old. I've had so many health problems that I hadn't ridden anything over 40 miles since August, 2020. But I managed a 50 mile ride a couple of weeks ago, then rode my age last week, 71 miles. I'm slow as mud, but considering I wasn't able to ride at all on my birthday last year, I'm not going to complain too much about how long that birthday ride took.

My sciatica i still here only it's not so bad that I can't walk around. And it doesn't hurt when I ride the trike. Today I rode 25 miles.  
Only one problem, a flat tire in the rear about nine miles back and I forgot the socket required to take off the rear wheel. It's not some thing people carry around on a bike. I tried walking but soon realized that I was getting nowhere fast.  
I thought I can always buy a new tire and I already have a extra wheel that I may never use. So I rode the trike 9 miles home. The wheel went thump, thump, thump all the way home.  
After I recovered, I drove up to bicycle Evolution, expecting to at least buy a new tire and tube and who knows what else.  
In the end All I needed was a new tube.  
Thanks to Bryan the tech at Bicycle Evolution who spent hours checking the bike.
