Unhappy She's Done for a While

Sniff, sniff. Had a good ride today for the last time for a while. Rotator cuff & bicep surgery Monday morning. Ran her down to almost empty, put in Stabil & filled her up with non-ethanol premium. Clean wipe down & bed sheet cover her up. May get a buddy to fire her up and take her out next month or so till rehab is over & doc gives go ahead to hop back on.

Had knee arthroscopy last week.
I can relate.
Doin' pretty good, walkin' w/ and w/out a cane.
On;y missed 2 days of work.
Ordered a few more walkin' sticks too.
For some reason, they seem to be very multi-functional.
Kinda like a multi--tool.

What ever you do, don`t slack off on physical theray. Same surgery March of this year. Was riding end of June. Might have been able sooner, but did not take the chance. Listen to physical therapist and do excercises at home religiously. Still doing exercises to keep both shoulders good. Good luck!

I agree with the physical therapy, stay with it. Had shoulder surgery and thanks to the physical therapy, was healed up faster than what the doctor had predicted.
