Update:
I am now 11 months out, coming up soon on the anniversary of my crash and my surgery (modified weaver dunn, read my previous post). Crash was on 12/26/06 and surgery on 12/28/06.
I have been religious about working out, mostly core exercises and power cal's (pushups of all kinds, pullups, etc. I can recommend books) and I am feeling strong and so is the shoulder. Occasionally it might feel a little sore if I push hard, but this is progressively reducing in what it takes to make it sore. I feel I am better off with the surgery, and it looks almost as before.
I have lifted weights heavy for 25 years. After the accident I had to learn new workout techniques and also learned how bad the bench press is for you (google bench press and paul chek), I would recommend you guys who are obsessing over the bench press (how much ya bench) to stop doing it and change your focus. My workouts leave me much more wiped out and I feel stronger, more of the entire body is worked out at once, has more real world applications for skiiing, biking, etc than isolated weight lifting, and this is coming from a former hard core weightlifter!
If you can find a good surgeon I would recommend it. Arthritis isn't an issue since they trim off a bit of the clavicle in the modified weaver dunn procedure. I would also recommend you thoroughly research that procedure first so you understand what they will be doing. Plenty of info on the net. I have heard guys have gone back to playing rugby after the surgery.
I went biking two weeks ago, played it real cautiously as I wanted the shoulder to be close to 100%. I think its about 98% right now.
Anyhow, thought I owed it to those who are looking for feedback. I know I was when I was contemplating surgery. I scoured the net and read everything I could.
