Multi Shots from the trail.

[DG Rider]

@DG Rider Very true it does get better with time. I had it done and ended up with an additional anchor put in. I can't emphasize enough to follow the Dr. and physics therapists directions to the letter. I've seen so many get to feeling good and do something that causes a set back. Good luck, the trails will be waiting for you.

Yeah...I've seen that warning a lot. I'm planning on sticking to his instructions to the letter.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

My lone shot from the trail today...

View attachment 458847

Just sitting chilling a few miles from the truck.

Haven't been out in a few weeks. As I posted in the mountain bike thread, I went out on it Christmas day and had a crash. X ray and an MRI later it was determined that I have a "massive" rotator cuff tear. Basically living with 1.25 arms, so even with the EPS, it tends to be a lot of effort to go on a ride.
Add to that the notion that if something went sideways and I had to try and rock the machine or crawl out of it, I'd be in trouble...and I've been keeping It to very easy trails.

I confess the physical pain is one thing (which really hasn't been that bad), but the psychological effect of this has been surprising to me. I'm used to being the one that helps, not the one that needs help. I'm also not used to looking at the world and everything I do with an eye on being super safe and not hurting myself. It's a strange thing I'm not used to.

My employer is very generous in that he's going to let me do a desk job, otherwise it might be literally a month or two before I can actually spin wrenches again, if that. Where I in a position where I simply couldn't work for that reason, I would probably lose everything. Nice living paycheck to paycheck with nothing to fall back on.

Anyways...Surgery's next Friday, and the first 6 weeks will be with an arm in a sling, and a full 6 months for "full recovery". Figure it'll probably be at least a few months before I can go out in the sxs again, if that, and then we're in the middle of an Arizona summer, so it could well be that it could be this fall before I'm able to do this again. And for that reason I just had to get out today...

Been there done that.
As was said, for me the worst part was the sling and sleeping (or trying to sleep) in the recliner. When I went into the whole thing I thought, great some time off, I can get some stuff done around the house. That didn't work. I grew up watching Gilligan and hadn't seen it in a while so I went and bought the box set. Somewhere in the third season, two o'clock in the morning, couldn't sleep, could not get comfortable, and could not stand Gilligan anymore. I think that was the worst of it. Do what the doc says. Do your Pt. and you will be back riding before you know it.

Ohh, and it helps to get on the forum here and whine about it occasionally, it helped keep me from going too crazy.

Best of luck to you.

I've only found 1 patch in my life. It had about of about 30 plants. It was late summer, they were only head high and had small buds on them. I went back in the fall, at night time to harvest them but you guys had already chopped them lol. I wasn't even a smoker but i was gonna sell it. I'm glad it was gone because with my luck, i would've went to prison. That was about 30 years ago. Not far from where I live now.
