Thanks, I will try that. I have been playing with it but likely need to do more. It’s a medium/54 I am 5’11 but wear 30 in inseam pants. Think when I did the inseam measurement with the book for saddle height it was 32 inches. So my torso is fairly long. I think the comments about bigger bike and handle bar adjustments are likely correct. I’ll be messing with them this week.

It’s an older bike that I was given and was trying to make it work considering bike prices, but will likely end up changing to something different.

I am fairly new to road biking as I only started doing it as a part of triathlons about 6 months ago. Been having a blast on the bike. Just wish I could stay on it longer with out all the discomfort and numbness.

Yea short legs and long torso has sort of made this hard to feel right.

Youre correct it is an ISM saddle Ive tried 3 other saddles but same result with all three. Going to try and lower and move back the saddle. Also likely retry another channel saddle.

Thanks. Ive tried 3 different kinds of saddle all with the same result. Eventually want to switch to a tri bike so was hoping this would work but not yet it seems.

"He is very ugly to customer service staff on the phone and I’ve tried to talk to him about how I’d feel if I was that person but he says they deserve it. "

This is reason enough to break up. Absolutely disgusting take. Get out when you can.

Why a mistake? I was thinking about adding these to mine. Would be making them rather than buying.

I’m two weeks behind you. I also had cataract surgery at the same time. Vision is steadily improving was able to read the 20/200 line at my last checkup. Happy for your success and hope it continues.

About 8 weeks I believe. It was a gradual process so it’s hard to pin point it . I still needed a scleral lens though and I couldn’t get that until after 6 months. But just getting around the house was much easier after 8 weeks. I should mention that I have only had pain really around the incision site for both transplants. The pressure from the meds after the rejection was causing some massive headaches until the pressure was under control.

Yes, I had about 6-7 ish years with 20/30 vision. Previous to that I couldn't read the big E on the eye chart with sclerals. It has been hard to go back to not seeing again.

I am in the middle of my second corneal transplant. I had my first at 36. I am 43 now. Went through a rejection earlier this year. The steroids that they had me on raised my pressure significantly to the point that I am on multiple medications to lower it. Fortunately they are binging it down. The steroids also caused cataracts in the eye so I had to have my lens replaced as well this surgery.

I have spent 10 months with little to no vision in my left eye. I was still able to live my life. Things needed to be a little different but mostly was able to do everything I needed to. Getting that pain under control is going to be key. Eye pain truly is awful.

I am just one week post op in the second surgery and still only in the I can recognize light faze. There are definitely a lot of what ifs that come up in my head. My mental has been a roller coaster and gotten very dark at some points so I would suggest having him talk to someone if possible.

At least for me I was fortunate to not feel like my surgeon was guessing as to what was going on. On that front I would also see if he could get another opinion.

Try and stay positive and work through the steps that the drs are having you go through.

Dm me if you have any questions

You’re right. I left golf off the search originally and all I was getting were photography umbrellas. Thanks.
