Will, I'm sorry to hear this.
I hope that you return back to the saddle before the start of the trip. You have over 4 weeks to recover. You can do it. Ibuprofen and Epsom salt bath can help reduce the pain and inflammation.
Use 2 cups of Epsom salt for a standard-size bathtub. Pour the Epsom salt into warm running water. Soak in an Epsom salt bath for 15–30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Try it and see if that works for you.
Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.
Retirement in 2 Days! Sold the 04 Wing and got a 18 with 3000 miles and training wheels, a bit of a chore turning but don't make a rake kit for the newer ones without a 2500. price tag, so will look like Popeye by end of Saturdays ride.wing5.jpg
Just changed my oil getting ready for the gathering in Franklin

Indeterminate at this time. Issues with the rubber on my bike at the moment (both tires) and less than stellar performance with my healing ankle injury. Afraid I've been pushing it too much.
