Yeah, for some reason, I continue to follow bike stuff (this group,
racing, rec sites, etc). Thing is, in order to make snow-and-ice-packed
roads tolerable, I took up skiiing (about 8 years ago).

A month ago I pulled an "Arnie". I did a slow-speed face plant, which was
unspectacular and should have been unconsequential. However, in a
completely freak landing, I suffered a posterior dislocation of the right
shoulder (oh yeah, my dominant arm) and, just as a bonus, the hunk of bone
to which the rotator cuff attaches sheered off and was smashed.

Well, for one thing, I am on the soggy flat-and-bare soybean fields of
Illinois rather than at Lake Tahoe this week. For another thing, I may
not be able to ride a bike until late summer...

OK, now that I've finished feeling sorry for myself, I'll need to go check
on Sheldon't site to see how he's doing and to remind myself how well-off
I really am!

Recumbent Trike advantage No's 8 and 24.... Ride easily even with upper body
injuries, and a bit of ice won't put you down..... Just sayin

Not even the stationary trainer with no hands?

You should be able to start riding before too long. (a
month or so?). Sleeping is another matter.
