Ouch!
Sorry about your off, can't offer advice but GWS!

Sorry to hear this, sounds painful. My sis was having NHS physio recently - they said she had to have 6 weeks. What they actually meant was 6 sessions which got spaced out several weeks apart because she could never get an appointment and they wouldn't let her book up more than one session in advance.

Having said that, down in Kent I got seen quite efficiently for physio. But keep an eye on it - physio is so important in recovery.

GWS!

GWS. You'll heal faster if they pin it.

So disappointed for you that you'll be off on holiday in a crook state. Try and have fun anyway.

Not really a theatre goer but the fells wont be walked in this visit, the pubs might take a little more cash off me.

Fair enuff, though having worked there I can tell you it's a great theatre with a mix of programming - gwan, give it a go... (they serve real ale in the bar)

Update:

Shoulder getting better by the day, the mussel damage is what is causing the majority of the pain now and I am trying to rebuild them but its a long process. I cancelled the C2C as I wont be back on the road until May and 60 days training isnt enough time for the challenge and not fair on others. We did end up in Keswick for the week but not sleeping and anything other than walking to the lake or town knackered me going from 200 miles a week to zero with no or little sleep, so I kept stocked with pain killers and beer with afternoon naps. That has been the toughest challenge so far, something which still causes problems but it is getting better.

Plans are now to get on the Turbo asap, physio said Jan but I might push them on this one and I returned to work yesterday, maybe a week or two early but as I wasnt been paid and its xmas I need to earn. The bonus is that my Castelli Nanoflex kit ordered for my birthday will stay clean and not used until next winter

Keep doing physio. Don't stop using it or you will get limited shoulder movement. Gosh was that pic from an op incision .

Hi yeah keeping physio going, getting more and more movement by the day which is encouraging. Yeah the post op picture was ugly, the cut now doesnt look as bad but its still a Rambo style one here is one for the other week without steri strips which just have been removed and make it look worse.

Once the incision is healed, get yourself some bio oil and start massaging the scar twice a day to break up the scar tissue and keep it moisturised. The stuff smells really nice too
