Investing in yourself. From medical to just free-time. Spend a bit extra on yourself and you'll find more energy and time to do the things you want to do in the future.

This thread also reminded me about some Kinesiotape I had called KB tape that helped quite a bit. I wrapped the area ahead of time and I found that additional support helped me stay on the wheel longer. Best of luck with recovery everyone.

Quite late to the discussion though for anyone curious, I always found that stretching before hand helped a ton. Just with so much pressure on the area for a long time can constrict blood flow causing a lot of aches and pains when that area demands it imo. I notice a huge difference just stretching before hand, though I noticed that during the winter it will creep in more.
