Shoulder all better now post op?

 

[Drago]

Thank you for asking. Still very achy. Not actually painful, just a near constant dull ache. I've about 2/3 movement in most directions, but still zero external rotation. More than a few hundred metres on a bike becomes painful. Despite all the woe, its much, much better than before when it could be absolutely excruciating.

My biggest problem medically with this sort of thing is I get in very badly with many types of painkiller (as in I stop breathing) so anti imflammatories are out the door.

Ask for a steroid jab, seems to have sorted my pain out after 2 ops and nearly 3 years. Still don’t have full ROM but at least not much pain. Ok I am taking loads of meds but hey

I find that a bottle of Jameson's works wonders.

I am now on my last ever re-licensing block training week at work. Annual test of rules, loco refresher, safety stock loading, Track IWA course etc etc.
Six months from now----

Fair enough took me a year after the first op

For some reason, I was convinced it was Saturday today.
As we were riding along the trail into Barnstaple this morning, I commented that it was very quiet for a Saturday. My missus called me a silly old sod.

You were shouting at the telly, "where the *%£& is Dickie Davies?"

You can tell that Mrs D hasn't been here to keep tabs on me.

Sonic cleaner is the way.

Have you got the can of Linklife in the oven yet?

I ought to get one.

Brilliant things, but costly for a large one but even a small one is good for small parts.
