That @!#$%*** shoulder

What happens re the 5cm positional difference when healed?

GWS.

Well, it turns out that 2.5cm of that is introduced deliberately on joint install. It's to do with giving the deltoid some extra leverage.
The other 2.5 should retract into place with use of a sling, allowing the bone surfaces to knit.

A bit late to this update. All a bit rubbish, my sympathies.

Ah, I see - you've just got to live with the extra inch then. I don't suppose anyone but you will notice, not that it matters if they do as long as it works and the extra leverage sounds like a good idea too.

Happy healing!

Does that mean that you will be able to play bass again once it is all sorted?

No problem. But does emphasize what I'd already decided - lightweight gear. Got the new amp already, 200W into 4 ohms. It weighs 1.6lb...

Will be trying a gentle test ride on the upgraded Trek later today, but the arm is still not close to being as good as it had got.

Good luck on the ride.

 

[Heltor Chasca]

Looking positive in the best light. How about playing base?

 

[DCBassman]

No particular problem with the bass, except opportunities to use it!

Well,
That @!#$%*** shoulder
was OK on the little ride today, and I'm all fired up to do more, but must be sensible and give it a bit more time.
I'll be back...

Bit at a time... good news it was ok on the bike.

Really glad the infection has buggered off. Are you still on the anti-biotics @DCBassman ?

Another 6 weeks. Then no more antibiotics OR damned blood tests - penultimate set this morning, as it happens.

Having a camera shoved into my shoulder on....Friday the 13th! I'm hoping it's a fibre optic thing and not a VHS videocam.
