When can i ride again?
Yesterday i had surgery on my shoulder. I had myself convinced it would be no biggie since ive had 2 back surgeries including a fusion. Boy was i wrong. 
... He did a decompression removing bone etc.. and a manipulation. Ive got a pain pump around my waist with a tube going into my shoulder dripping liquid. Been feeling dizzy and disoriented some times. Anyway, i hope after therapy i will finally be able to ride again. Im so bored.

I volunteered at UCH two years back in the operating room, and ive seen plenty of shoulder surgeries. You'll be ok, don't push your body. Focus on healing properly over anything else. Keep the pain pump running, once the pain sets in it takes 30-60 minutes for the painkillers to kick back in.
