You guys have no idea how FUN it is to simultaneously end a year of hellacious 3rd grade, and begin summer vacation with a complete rotator cuff repair! Yeah!

Tomorrow's the big day. I won't do any computer log-ons until at least one full day has passed - otherwise, it might appear as if the Sasquatch or Yeti or Bigfoot made some postings! :t

I just hope that the 2 doctors tag-teaming me don't have to "patch" the primary tendon that was torn and retracted. They've got to fish around, find that tendon, and pin it back in place. And then they have to repeat that for another tendon, and fix the bicep tear too. Rock on, my awesome doctors!! :mrgreen:

Until tomorrow, I will:
1. bang out some primers
2. maybe organize some cases into prep-zones for loading
3. count out how many .357 and .38 cases I will reload for the next range event, and brush them up inside
4. enjoy dinner tonight with my wife and friends here- having a cookout and it's a mega hot Virginia night - thank goodness for A/C!

later, all.

Best of luck. Good thoughts & prayers your way.
Had a right total shoulder replacement about
9 years ago, none of that shoulder stuff is any fun.
Hang in there.

Ice it religiously. I bought one of those ice machines and it was worth every penny.
The worst part is the constipation caused by the surgery and pain meds. :shock:

Good luck!

I agree with you on the rotator cuff part. Just follow the doc's instructions and all will be well. Wishing you a COMPLETE recovery. It takes a while but be patient, it'll work out. We're all "rootin" for ya. +guns

Heal and make smoke,
