Meh, I spend a fair bit of time in pain from my right shoulder... Worst part is it's not bike related and I don't have an interesting story to go with it.

6 hours of surgery no movement for 6 weeks to heal shoulder
Might need another op in 4-6 months but trying to focus on healing
Hospital was heaving overcrowded and really struggling, no beds people in chairs after operations
Thank you to all the staff for being so dedicated to helping others

Damn, proper job!

Glad the surgery went well, and your note on the recovery side. Fingers crossed the recovery is straight forward.

I guess your going to have to endure a fair few bed baths

That's a long way off but I guess they've got to let the bones settle post operation and see what's happening.

There is a much over used phrase "I know what you mean", but fwiw in this instance I feel entirely justified in using it myself..

GWS fella, and remember that for all it may seem tedious,,, each and every minute you are more repaired and closer to total recovery (nod)

That really doesn't sound good mate, hope you find some relief from it. Think I'd be asking for some opiates, it might help with the boredom too.

Going in for 2nd op next week to try and repair a damaged nerve in my shoulder which is causing the loss of feeling in my hand
Can’t see me riding a bike again for a very long time :(

I can only echo what the others have already said.

Fingers crossed the op goes well. keep your chin up, hopefully you'll be back on a bike in no time.. it may be the slug, but a bike is a bike.
