No riding this summer?!

Nubbs · 04-07-2010, 01:49 PM

Well got the bad news the other day. I fell at work back in february and have been off work ever since with a bad shoulder.
After 5 weeks the doc finally did an MRi and I have a torn rotator cuff and split biceps tendon. Overall pain is managable unless I try to lift my arm or pick up more than 5 lbs, then it hurts like crazy.
Anyway doc said I need surgery so finally and answer and a fix!! But NO!!!! Work comp has stepped in and said a second opinion is needed. So Mondat I had a second opinion and that new doc said surgery and will be down for minimum of 6 wks and maybe up to 4 months!! When I asked him about riding he said maybe this fall depending on how much work he needs to do, but wont know for sure until he is in there.
So again I am waiting for work comp to give the go ahead and authorize the surgery.
I just wish this would get done and overwith so I can get on the NAD and ride!!! I am hating work comp right now!!
Ok Ill stop venting now.
