i've been doing the stupid and posting while on drugs. i had shoulder surgery this morning with hopes of going back to shooting sometime this winter. best part is the white pills my pusher ... i mean wife is giving me
i start therapy on monday and doc told audrey it went well. it was all bone cutting and no cuff repair. should heal well
i think hunting season is a goner, but sould be able to hold a rifle, shpotgun and support two handed handgun ... not the 50, by january
-
OW! Sorry about the bad luck! :(
Glad to hear you'll be back shooting in the winter. (especially being able to shoot the shotgun)
Now stop ridin' them bulls!
-
Sorry to hear that. Follow doctors orders (more or less) and do the therapy (religiously) and get better soon.
What did they have to do? My Ortho is talking about replacing my shoulder. Needless to say, I am not rushing right into that.
-
GUYS! Don't believe his sob story! He's just Bull sh.....errrr ......riding! ;)
Get well soon and follow his orders!
-
Good time to practice weak hand shooting.
Get better soon.
-
Hopefully your LEFT shoulder! Well, if you shoot right handed. ;)
Otherwise that may perminately take the fun out of anything that ends with "Magnum". :(
-
If it's anything like my shoulder surgery you can look forward to 6 months of PT. They cut the end of my collarbone off so it quits rubbing bone on bone. He cut through my rotator cuff to do the surgery so that had to heal up too. Hang in there, it gets better with time.

the plan was what they call decompression. they shave the underside of the shoulder blade and cut off the distal end of the clavicle to make more room for the bursa. i assume that is all they did. i injued the bursa, and with the limited space the inflammation would not go away even with steroid injections and other meds.
yes, i am right handed, and this is my left wing.
and in case the hazcat twisted the facts: i am full off it; and it is not the part i landed on in my dismount.
ahhhhhhh ... my pusher just arrived with two more pills and a fresh ice pack.
thanks guys

Just fess up. This is totally you isn't it?!? ;D ;D ;D
These video's NEVER get old! ;)
-
This is why God made the .22 ;D
Get well soon.
-
So what did they do?
They want to do a complete reconstruction on mine+ cadaver parts. no thank you. I'll live with the pain.
-
What exactly did they do? I'm having problems with both shoulders and the doc wants to shave my acromion and remove the bursa sack in the right. My wife had this surgery years ago and says she wouldn't do it again, as it really hasn't been much better. The doc gave me a cortisone shot and it seems to have really alleviated a lot of the pain. This has cut into all shooting and eliminated golf.
Anyway, I hope you get better soon.
-
Misspent youth! LOL
Get better quick!

Good luck with the mending, M58, and do what the PT therapist and docs tell you.
*As a side note on those taking cortisone shots, a doc told me that prolonged use of cortisone via injection, can cause AVN (avascular necrosis) which is deterioration (through loss of blood flow) of the hip joints, requiring replacement later in life.

Till you mend, may I suggest:
The "RECOILLESS" 106mm Rifle?!? ;)

Like Tom posted....the .22 is a great/inexpensive way to stay on target. Keep you in the 10 ring so to speak.
Stay on the mend m58.
Take Care.

Seriously, they were still using the "Mechanical Mule" when I was in .
Basicly a wheeled pallet with an air cooled engine. fun ;D
-
We had one that sat around "ready to use" when I got out in '95. It rode like a mule, was LOUD, slow, and scary (felt like it wanted to tip over)... When there were trucks parked all around it NOBODY did much more than stop to look at it and wonder.
Now if it had had a GIANT gun on it... ;D
-
Call me if you need somebody to
shoot MAINTAIN your guns while you're laid up.
Just because YOU'RE laid up doesn't mean your guns should have to suffer!! ;D

The steering wheel pivots so you can lay on the ground behind it and get towed along if you are under fire.

Eight days and counting. I have two therapy sessions behind me ... Have you ever paid attention to the initials after a persons name? MD, PHD, DDS, DVM, CPA, CFSP ... These little kindergarten *itches have S&M on their name badges :'(
Friday was surgery; the weekend sucked; Monday was the first PT where they measured range of motion and prescribed passive exercises; narcotics have had minimal effect on the pain, but it is getting better (last night I actually got five hours sleep and only got up once); driving is a challenge - especially turn signals with an arm you can't lift; I have been able to type with both hands for about three days, but it is slow; I am just about done with the sling, but will see how the one hour classes go before throwing it away (Wednesday I tried, but had to have the host come up half way through and help me re-sling :'( ); Friday I did receive compliments on my progress with the exercises, but the little hottie ... 22 year old babe with S&M title, is way less than impressed with my injured flabby body :'( ; and this morning I went into way deeper research on recovery time ... I have tried to ignore the months and focus on weeks, but I am starting to accept the three to four months projection ... DAMN! I was really hoping to take the bike out again this fall if it got nice, but I can barely raise my left arm, much less hold a handlebar or operate the clutch :'(
Enough bitching and whining for now, but that is it ... I call it patient's remorse :'(
