I am already getting cabin fever here with unseasonably hot and sunny spring weather outside, just watching racing on tv
When I broke my collarbone they didn't do surgery. I have the classic calcified lump. That said, I was on the trainer a few days after the injury, riding on the road in a few weeks, and racing within two months. Let pain be your guide and don't rush it. Forget about your fitness and Ewang and all that. Take care of yourself first. Fitness can be improved later.
