Jo, last winter a woman in my spin class had shoulder surgery. She'd come in with her sling on and ride along gently, sometimes sitting on the side for a bit. So maybe the trainer will be ok - are they real stable? I've never seen one, actually. The spin bikes are VERY stable.
Quick mending and reiki vibes from all us new-age goddesses.

Hopefully your shoulder is stable enough!
I don't know if its applicable, but I've done spin class with a sling (due to a minor rotator cuff injury) and found out that its still a pretty good workout. You do get a few odd looks in class.
Probably more related, an xbf had used his trainer during his recovery of a dislocated shoulder. No racing saddles (haha) and readjust your bike because you won't be able to lean forward.
Wishing you the best of luck to your healing and cycling addiction!

Keep up the positive attitude, Jo! Helping out at the ride instead sounds like a decent compromise. Hopefully, you'll get to ride the trainer, still. From the others' comments, it looks like a real possibility to me....
Congrats, Emily, on your comeback milestone! 40 miles is an accomplishment ANY time, but especially for you, after your injuries. Way to go!
Take care...

Bummer!
At least it looks like the trainer should be able to work. We don't want you going stir-crazy. Hope that shoulder heals itself quickly.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
