But I guess the down time will let me go over all the bikes thoroughly once I can start using the arm some. Got my first set of tubulars in a long time coming too. Guess I can take my time gluing those up. And the Tempo still needs to be built as well as a Reus frame I just picked up. Gives me time also to get some really good pics of the two or three bikes I'll be moving on this spring. Anyway, just rambling....drugs are kicking in again. I wanna ride!
Ouch! I also hit a dog (a bulldog, I'm told) a couple of years ago and wound up with a separated shoulder and a moderate concussion. I'm better now, although a bunch of ligaments are toast, so my shoulder blade is no longer really connected to my collarbone. I didn't really believe the physical therapy people when they told me the shoulder would function fine without the A-C ligaments, but darned if they weren't right.
I hope you recover as well as I did. My injury was a week or so into December, and I managed to go for a pretty good ride late in January, thus keeping my decade-plus streak of going for at least one ride every month intact. You should be good to go by early April, I hope.
