Hi to everyone and I hope you are all healing.
Just an update from me as the original poster - 5 months after my accident things are 95% normal again. I still struggle with strength in my upper body when doing push ups which was not to good before the accident anyways and definitely needs improving.
First 4 weeks I was on the indoor trainer with probably putting preasure on my shoulder a little too early. I then transitioned to training outside again for 6 weeks before deciding I needed a week off which was followed by a week of sickness.
After those 2 weeks off I did about 4 weeks of unstructured riding at 15hrs a weeks and then transitioned back into now properly training on 17-20hrs a week with about a 900TSS score a week.
I basically saved most of my fitness over the summer after the crash with loosing quite a bit on the top end.
Just as a disclaimer - I myself think it might not have been the right decision to turn down the surgery and I would not advice anyone to do it. Just do whatever you feel comfortable with and your doctor is also fine with . Stay safe out/in there cycling and enjoy the ride
