SHOULDER

[LBOW]

As some of you know I had a bad  fall on 1/1/13. I hit a section of black ice out by the barn. did complete flip and landed on my left ghoulder.Had an xray and some PY it seenrd to be getting better until KZOO.Had very paniful tearing, ripping sensation to my left shoulder.                                             JOHN offered me chair.(didn't want to miss a sale) ha ha. A great guy. I did stay until Sat. am. Long story short I had to have surgery on my left shoulder to repair rotar cuff and reattach my bicep. A long recuver and much PT.  I really miss the shooting with the OHIO DUMB BUNCH

[LKH]

I had the bicep reattachment and it's gone great.  Can't imagine the rotator cuff tear with it or are you talking about having a slap tear of the bicep tendon fixed.

Listen to the doc and physical terrorist.  Don't try to push it if they say otherwise.

Good luck and be careful.

Been there just a couple months ago and it's going great - the same will be true for you. Do your PT and home exercises and before you know it you'll be back in the swing of things!

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery!  

[Whip]

You are a mess Mike!  It's not good to get old.  But it's the best choice you have.
Stick to the doctors orders and you'll be back at it in good time.  I'll miss you in AL though!

[Tracks]

OUCH! Good luck with the recovery.

[David Mitchell]

Hey, Mike, need a good warm wool shirt to keep that shoulder warm while it heals?  I might know where one is.  

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I hope you recover well.  Good luck with it and let us know how you are doing!

[Chaz]

Speedy recovery !!

[Jack Rehacek]

I had the same thing plus a torn labrium and 3 torn tendions,I had the surgury back in may of 2012,it has been a slow recovery.It has been fustating at times but I am getting there.Just do what your doc and PT say.Dont push it.

[S.C. Hunter]

Get better soon and don't push it, or pull it in this case. Sorry could not resist. Hope you do recover soon.

[4runr]

Dang Mike. Sorry to hear that.

[Caughtandhobble]

Good luck with your recovery... Follow the Dr's orders!!!

[Russ Clagett]

Ditto on doctors orders....I had rotator cuff done in June of last year and by Sept it was good enough to go on an archery elk hunt..

Now it feels better than it has in 25 years....

If I could get all this other crap fixed...

[LBOW]

Dave:I know for a fact that I will not get that wool shirt. I do appreciate the offer and thsnk you for thinking of me. We really missed you at KZOO----well at least some of us did. MIKE

[LBOW]

I'm glad I survied the operation; my so called buddies were splitting up gear. Glad someone had my back. Joe you were down for the Jim Reynolds bow you worked on.Now you will have to wait(hope it is a long one).    MIKE
