I'm back after being out about two weeks due to shoulder surgery.
It was a pleasure to be behind the wheel again today.
The smile is back on my face!

 

Welcome back, take it easy!!!

 

Excellent news...glad you are on the road to recovery!!

 

It will be deliberate shifting for a while, but that's okay. I'm just excited to be in the drivers seat again.

 

Glad to hear you're on the mend!

 

glad to hear you're back in the drivers seat, me I have another 5 weeks to go (foot surgery)

 

what caused the foot problem? Holding the pedal down to the floor too much jk! Hope that all goes well. I had surgery after i tore my achilles. I know what your dealing with. Hope your back behind the wheel soon!

 

what is/was the foot problem? my family owns shoe stores so I always ask

 

Your MINI missed you.

 

Arthritis, pretty bad for the last seven years, they finally fused the bone from my shin onto the foot, so now when I say I have a lead foot I mean it

 

Driving your MINI after shoulder, (or foot) surgery is therapy.
Should be embraced as early as possible during recovery.
You can trust me, I know a Doctor.

Nice to hear you are on the mend.

Take 2 Motors and call me in the morning

 

That's terrible, I hope you make a quick recovery.
It was no fun driving the Volvo for almost two weeks.
Hopefully someone will take you out and at least let you shift!

 

Welcome Back! Glad all is well. I'm sure the MINI is happy too.

 

I shouldn't admit to this but I drove my manual M3 a few times when my right leg was broken. I was still on crutches, non-weight bearing, and pretty much confined to the couch. I had people to take me out every day but a couple of times I convinced myself that a trip to the bank or fastfood drive throughs was worth the risk. Kinda stupid looking back. Good luck on your recovery.

 

Thanks Matt and to all who have sent wishes of quick recovery.
