Always hate to hear of anyone getting hurt while riding, glad it wasn't worse than it was. Best wishes for a complete recovery, shoulders can take a while to heal. Thanks to the OP for letting us know. Tom
Enjoy the drugs, follow the doctor's suggestions to the letter and heal up fast, Don. Crappy news to read, but we're all very much here for you if needed.
Dammit. I hate to hear of riders' get-offs. Sorry for your misfortune. Heal well Don. Shoulders take a while to get sorted out after trauma and all the hours you'll spend with physical therapist will be worth it.
I wonder if they can arrange a temporary staff exchange and get Bustanut's nurses to tend to Don... you know the nurses that were administering hourly enemas to Bustanut. It would do wonders for Don too, I am certain. It might cure that case of optirectus that Don's been struggling with. You know where the nerves from the rectum get crossed with the optic nerve and give a person a $hitty outlook on life.
