OMG 9 months on

[Shellywoozle]

Arrrggghhhh as you all know I have a defect shoulder after my off last August. I simply can't lift my arm any higher than my shoulder to which I have adapted, the pain is part of my everyday living.

Just got home to a letter from the hospital inviting me to call them to make an operation appointment ....... arrggghhhhhhhhh

I am now terrified of the tiny op I am having god I like my arm this way!

But on the plus side I may be riding this summer ...... bugga I got a hen party in Spain in June...... do i forfeit this for my op?????

I take it the op means you'll get full usage of your shoulder back? minus the pain too hopefully?

Watching them op vids probably wasn't a good idea

Go for the op, get out on the bike asap, i'm sure you'll not enjoy Spain.
I mean what is there? Apart from the sun, sea, sangria, toned waiters trying to get a visa to the UK
If it makes you feel better i'll go on the hen weekend in your place

Get your mind out the dirty sea water !!! He he he LOL

So have they given you a provisional date for it then, do you know it's going to clash with this hen do or are you bothered about the recovery period clashing?

I had a letter a couple of weeks ago to say I was on waiting list, now I have had a letter to say ring them to arrange an appointment. Sounds pretty iminent. I know work are in contact with my surgeon so I really need to take the earliest appointment else they going to be asking why I am delaying it.

I think the recovery I the clash but I will have to suck it and see, sods law innit

Still if it gets me back out on 2 wheels this year it must be good !!!

yep, definitely worth it in the long run

I expect tis a common op performed all the time so stop worrying and get it over with

(and maybe have a huge pi$$up nearer the time to aid your nerves )

Is the op on the same date as the hen party then??

Presuming it doesn't actually coincide, just think, if you are bandaged up, you might get a sympathy sh4g when you are out there!!

Oh and think of it this way ... instead of hurting your shoulder, if you had got yourself up the duff, just think how painful it would be NOW (9 months later ).

Don't be so ghey, get the op done, then get back out on the bike in the sun
