I explained to her the different hand positions of the various bikes... She basically told me via my description to avoid the GRS as it was too much shoulder slumping and keeping the same hand positions for longer periods of time.

BEER = WEIGHT
I know it sucks, but give up the beer. I haven't touched alchohol in over a year and I feel great. I used to drink at least 12 pack of Guiness pints a week and I'm certain it never helped my weightloss. The others I ride with drink copious amounts of brew and as I size down, they are sizing up.

Not an option... first I get the bike taken away... Now beer... Maybe I should just get int a trunk and ask Carla to nail it shut!!! ;-P I'll just pedal more... I am sure it's more to do with the inactivity...

Sucks Jim. I'm not supposed to put any weight on my ankle for another 3 weeks, so I am relagated to swimming. Haven't actually started yet, but it is the only way for me to stay in some condition so I don't totally suck when I finally get back on. Probably not the best exercise if you are suffering from a shoulder injury. Hang in there!

swimming is great cross-training....I don't actually do it as much as I should.
the first couple times you might be hating it and WILL be sucking wind. but after that, I really find that I enjoy it when I'm in the pool doing laps. if his shoulder's got problems, I can say this -- my right one has occassional pain from extreme exertion, and I've had neck problems before, but swimming doesn't really bother either.
running is good, but hell. I only run on a track since the pavement pounding I used to do 1-2 times a week was starting to get to my knees.

Ya gotta love a PT like that, who sees through the BS and calls the GRS just what it is. To help in your recovery, I'll go log in another epic gut-buster tonight, and if nobody else likes it, I know with your home brew and some imagination, you'll burn a few calories vicariously riding along. Just submit my bill to your insurance company, and I'll split it with ya.
Don't forget. I am a doctor, you know. (Just not that kind.)
paladin and darn glad to hear of a full recovery around the corner.

I just got back from my first PT meeting from this last ("hopefully"😉 surgery on the turd I call a shoulder. I had him the previous time and he was an "uber"(sp?) geek/nazi about the whole program. I was seriously nervous as hell about going back, getting [censored] for screwing up the previous reconstruction, etc. He was pretty cool, but kicked my [censored], told me I'm too fat (true), and made me feel weak. He also gave me hope about getting back on the bike (not for a while, but...) and prepping for winter sports! Cool.
Gotta go get crazy with my thera-band and work on sucking in my gut.

Mr Adventure dislocated his shoulder a few years ago, and was religious with his PT. He had been invited to go on a three week Grand Canyon raft trip, private with freinds, and then it happened. His end goal was to be on that river, no matter what. He was released from PT the day before they had to leave. Here he is, rowing Lava Falls, favoring that shoulder ( rowing with one arm)
Man, from the sounds of you guys (I'll spare you my PT experience) you'd think this was alt.retirement.walker Guess its just due to the wear and tear that results from truely good living.

Didn't know you were hurt. Heal fast...and listen to your Doc, SS is the way to healing mind and body.
Sucks Jim. I'm not supposed to put any weight on my ankle for another3 weeks, so I am relagated to swimming. Haven't actually started yet, but it is the only way for me to stay in some condition so I don't totally suck when I finally get back on. Probably not the best exercise if you are suffering from a shoulder injury. Hang in there!
swimming is great cross-training....

Yes it is! With an added bonus; you can drink all the beer you want and never have to get out in order to relieve yourself.

Nothing, at the moment. Walking the dog is about all I've been able to handle. Its taken me over 2 months to get over an intestinal problem that I've had. Going to start going to the swimming pool and start with some light workouts as soon as I can get into P/T.

Hopefully this wasn't caused by Jimbo's *home brew* :-P
Seriously, hope both you guys heal quickly.
And you just reminded me that I have to call my PT for an appointment (pinched nerve in my neck).
