That sucks. It is also a horrible way to spend your honeymoon.

When you are really active, getting injured in psychological torture. Last year, a week after my last race, I went mountain biking. I am normally timid and clumsy on the mtb, so that day I decided to just relax and go for it. Of course, less than two miles into it, I went over my handlebars. I was in too much pain to ride out, and it hurt to breathe. It turned out to be a sprained spine and shoulder. I was out of commission for about two months, and it drove me crazy. So I know how you feel.

For more sympathy, there is the "cry like a biatch" (or something like that) thread on the main forum. I cried there, but it was also good for putting things in perspective because you have people dealing with horrible diseases and making comebacks.

what type of shoulder surgery?

desertdude had surgery for a clavicle - once you talk to your surgeon I'd post on the main forum to hear some experiences.

Oh no, sorry to hear that Kells. Best wishes for a fast and full recovery. And congrats on your marriage!

I'm intimidated by the main forum, but maybe I will post there after surgery. My surgery is tomorrow (finally). The surgeon said it is a severe break which had actually worsened in the 6 days since the accident based on x-rays, so he got me on the schedule urgently. I know I'm going to lose all my fitness, but I have to remember it could be worse.

Also, my mom passed away two days ago. Been a tough week. I have to fly cross-country 36 hours after surgery for the funeral - planning to walk as much as possible on the plane so I don't get a DVT.

Thanks for the support, everyone.

So sorry to hear about your mom passing on top of everything else.

When it rains, it pours. Hang in there and take it one moment at a time. Hope all goes as well as it can.

No coasting in running and no crying in baseball

I am so sorry to hear that.

I am so sorry for your loss.

On a sunnier note, congratulations on your marriage; may you have many happy years together!
