A Clean Bill of Health!

So 6 months have now passed since undergoing my Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilisation Surgery to repair my Bankart Lesion.

Pre-Op Tattoo.

Morning after, sitting up in bed.

Last week was my last Physio session. That took me to a total of 20 half hour sessions in the last 5 months. In mid-October my Consultant gave me the all clear to get back into sporting activities, little did he know I’d already been paddling for a month or so and biking for even longer….

All good until 27-Apr-14, then slowly picking it back up post operation.

Late October, early November I passed the point of being stronger than I was pre-dislocation. This is a big milestone in my recovery, which going forwards into the winter season puts me back in a good place. 
Mobility wise, I pretty much have full range of movement back. Forward flexion above and past my head is still not quite 100% but due to the extensive work done to stabilise the joint this might never be possible.

So fingers crossed for lots of wet weather to get the rivers up, oh and at the weekend if possible! If not looks like the MTB will be getting out more...
