I have things to do. I have a new short sissy bar and a crash bar I want to install.

I must have fell asleep for a couple of hours, but woke to some pain, so I just crawled out of bed and slipped in here.

Hey Jim, I'm still in a lot of pain.
I'm nappin' every chance I get and I doubt I've got 8 hours sleep in the past 3 days.

Doc says 3 month recovery...[:@]

Rick,

Hang in there buddy. I've heard it can take some time for the pain to taper off after rotator cuff surgery. It will get better though as reported to me by friends that have had the same surgery, but it can take months (sometimes a year or more) for the pain to fade completely. I feel for ya' as I've had injuries where no matter what you do you just can't get comfortable. Like I said though, hang tough. It will get better with time.[8D]

Tom

Thanks for the encouraging words rdking.

I don't want to be too dependant on 2 VicodinES every 4-6 hours. I know how tough it is getting off of it. [:'(]
On a good note, I did get some sleep last night. [8D]
