Shoulder Surgery April 11th.
« on: March 14, 2008, 09:41:00 PM »
I know you guys have been waiting to hear when I would get cut. It is 4/11/08 at 9AM. I have a slight tear in my trapesius and several bone spurs that have to go as well. It is also loaded with Arthritis, and the bursa sacks will go as well. Good news is I will be shooting by late may, just in time for Curt to call me in a bird!! Shawn

If you need a 45# curve or lb, let me know....I have a few. Might need a string or two, but we could hook you up.
Good luck with the surgery. I hope I get to hunt once or twice with ya in May. Nothing like turkey in the morning, stripers in the afternoon.

Shawn,

Seems that set of circumstances befall many of us. I had the right rotator, bone spurs and stuff I can't pronounce done in late Aug over 5  years ago... By end of October, I was shooting my hunting weight bow. That was with the major repair work.

10 days ago I had lesser left shoulder done... spurs, releive the AC joint of arthritic building up, grind off the arthritic build up on the clavical head...etc.  Again, words I don't know...but I read the surgery report and there was the world SLAP in there in all caps! Whatever that means...

Good news is that "minor" surgery resulted in taking it out of a  sling after a day and starting range-of-motion.

It still hurts a bit, but pain is your friend... Just one word of advice...make SURE you get them medico's to define that fine line between "pain and injury".  

So often folks want to avoid all pain and recouperation is extended.  Then there are us other type knuckleheads that think "it hurts so good". Make sure you know where that line is between pain that indicates damaging what's done and pain that goes with pushing recovery to your limit of pain tolerance. Then git er done!  :)

Prayers with you on the 11th to wake up and find less damage repair and shorter cycle time!
