    Thumbs down Well I am done riding for a long while

    Yeah you heard me right. My life is over for atleast 2-3 months. For those that didnt know, I dislocated my shoulder for the 4th time ( moving the atc 110 rear end into the storeage trailer by jerking on the rear rack....anyone want a 110 cheap ROFL) and its time to get that fixed. I guess I was starting to think I am Mel Gibson, in just putting my shoulder back in place. LOL
    Well I go to surgery on 16th Oct 2006, that morning. I will be unable to move my arm/shoulder for 4 weeks. Then I have to deal with 2-3 months of rehabilitation. Looks like the next time I can really ride is spring time. I guess I will have plenty of time building up and getting the bikes and trikes ready to ride. Say a pray for me on the surgery.............peace

    Oh maybe I can get some pics of the surgery to post hahaha.

    Just follow the docs instructions and do the rehab. You'll be better than ever and the 110 will be no match for you.

    You should get your shirts today or tomorrow by the way. Already have one confirmed delivery that was sent on the same day.

    Man, good luck! Which shoulder is it? If you lived closer, I would do your rehab for ya off the book.

    Complete rotator cuff tear?

    The 2-4 weeks it's immobilized are VERY important! Follow the MD and PT's orders and have this be the last shoulder trouble you have.

    I've got Huevos 1-6 on VHS if you want me to mail it to ya to pass the time post-op.

    I just read the other thread about this.

    Are they doing a rotator cuff repair? or a Mumford procedure to stabilize the shoulder?

    Hey thanks guys for the thoughts. I am going to try to ride this weekend for the last time (with this shoulder brace I bought).

    , I got the shirts in and they are awesome! I might have to get some more from you.

    Travis, I believe I have one of the major tendon is torn badly. He also said in the "cup" area, I have way too much movement and it is easily popped out of place. So they have to tighten up that area first to keep the arm in the rotator cuff and then they will screw/stich the torn tendon and/or legiments. He isnt giving me 100% on what they will do cuz the MRI and arthogram were not super clear. Its basicly a small incision in the back part of the shoulder to place the camera in and then they can get a better feel of things. Hey I might see about hiring you and pay you to come see me! HAHA Heck if I have to pay someone, might as well take care of a fellow triker.

    Scott, Sorry to hear about the shoulder. I know the "Not riding" thing all to well. Thanks to my knee I haven't rode ATV's since the begining of May. Complications I am having will most likely stop me from riding for 2-3 more months. Then I will probably have to ride with a brace. I may even need surgery again. Current thoughts are to sell everything and forget about it. But that is another topic for a different thread.
