I to wanted to get back on the bike ASAP after shoulder surgery.
I was careful and did as the Doctor told me, however I was agressive in
therapy.
I actually rode around the neighborhood after 6 days.
All out road riding in 2 weeks and OFF road in 6.
I know your situation is more severe, but I think non riders tend to think
differently than riders when it comes to this.
Keep up the good work, hope to see you at the east coast rallye. (right
coast?)
