recuperation
I guess I'm not going to be cycling for a few weeks. Somehow I have separated my shoulder. The doc says it's definitely a sprain and possibly a fracture - pending x-rays. And I have no idea how I did it! I cycle commuted Mon/Tues. Nothing unusual. It's a fairly standard 15-20 minutes each way; city streets and MUP's, no off-road extreme cycling. My off-day, Wed, thanks to the weather I loafed and did little. Thursday I did a morning swim and an evening swim; one hour each, my usual set. I tend to concentrate on using my upper body to balance cycling's effect on the lower body. I felt a twinge and figured it was just a sore muscle. Friday morning I'm sore and stiff as all get-out; hence the trip to my doctor. He says a week to 10 days in a sling and 3-4 weeks of light duties and no cycling/swimming. I don't mind missing word but the no swimming/cycling is going to hurt. Nothing to do but post to the internet [left handed typing at that] *sigh* Wish I knew how I managed it though. -- 'And then one day you find, Ten years have got behind you.

Tendinitis in both shoulders. I am going to a physical therapist on Tuesday to see about exercises for that problem. My doc said I could "push but not pull" meaning no standing up on the pedals to get up the hills. Pat in TX |
