Some of you might have read that I couldn't meet Kev on his ride on Tues because of my hospital visit, had a shoulder problem for 10 months now.
Well  :cry:  seems I've torn two of the muscles in there (supraspinatus & infraspinatus  :roll: ), anyway I hav to go in for surgery, which is ok but....
6 weeks in a sling when I come out & a further 8 weeks of rehabilitation, bugger.
Looks like my Norway trip is down the pan.
The older I get the faster I was...

Get your arm healed and then plan for next year ..............
does suck though when plans fall thru due to unforeseen circumstances  :(

Been there Geoff, surgery on both shoulders. Right in 2007 and left in 2008. Just make sure you do all the rehab and you'll be fine. Good luck...Just think of all the time you'll have on this forum while you heal. :occasion14
Living vicariously through myself.

Sorry to hear about your shoulder.  Heal quickly.

I recently had my tour through the SW US truncated by my mother in law having a cardiac arrest.  I had to divert and help with taking care of things.   Over a week in ICU and looks like several more.  

I feel your pain.  Tomorrow is another day.

Geoff, sorry to hear the news but hopefully the op then recovery you know where you stand with the injury and can re plan your trip.
As for the Tuesday...you didn't miss much to say the least in fog and heavy rain.

Well didn't get out on me bike this afternoon  :roll: .

My little Border Terrier (see avatar) had a litter of pups on Tues, had to have a caesarian, anyway was up most of the night with her & had to dash to vets this morning, so had to stay at work all afternoon.

Then to cap it all I reversed my new car into a road sign.  :roll:  :evil:

Not having a good April
