  1. I guess I'm not going to be cycling for a few weeks. Somehow I have
    separated my shoulder. The doc says it's definitely a sprain and possibly a
    fracture - pending x-rays.

    And I have no idea how I did it!

    I cycle commuted Mon/Tues. Nothing unusual. It's a fairly standard 15-20
    minutes each way; city streets and MUP's, no off-road extreme cycling.

    My off-day, Wed, thanks to the weather I loafed and did little. Thursday I
    did a morning swim and an evening swim; one hour each, my usual set. I tend
    to concentrate on using my upper body to balance cycling's effect on the
    lower body. I felt a twinge and figured it was just a sore muscle.

    Friday morning I'm sore and stiff as all get-out; hence the trip to my
    doctor. He says a week to 10 days in a sling and 3-4 weeks of light duties
    and no cycling/swimming.

    I don't mind missing word 🙂 but the no swimming/cycling is going to hurt.
    🙁

    Nothing to do but post to the internet [left handed typing at that]

    *sigh*

    Wish I knew how I managed it though.

    I know how you feel: I haven't been able to swim since the last week in
    July. Tendinitis in both shoulders. I am going to a physical therapist on
    Tuesday to see about exercises for that problem. My doc said I could "push
    but not pull" meaning no standing up on the pedals to get up the hills.

    Think of the bright side. You won't be able to golf or shovel snow.
