    On a limited basis and only for as long as I can handle the pain.

    I saw the doctor this morning only expecting him to tell me no riding still. He did some strength and range of motion tests and then another set of x-rays. We were both very pleasantly surprised to find that, as the doc put it, "my shoulder injuries healed better and quicker than he had anticipated". YEAH!!

    So now begins the physical therapy, and better yet a small amount of riding. Still no Counting Coup but hey, at least I get to be out on the trails.

    Christmas has come a little early for me! :bang:

    Hope all my fellow STR buddies with injuries heal up fast too. Thanks for all the well wishes everyone.:)

    Ahhhh, young female grasshopper....


    To be young again.... very glad to hear that the healing process going nicely... just be careful and don't try and make up for all the lost riding time in one ride.

    Looking forward to seeing one of our girls out on the dirt again.
