Cut loose!
I saw the surgeon yesterday and said the X-rays look great. From here on out it's strengthening exercises and keeping up with my range of motion stretches.
He said I can paddle a kayak in another month and some patients take up to nine months to get to their strength potential.
I'll see him a year post op for more films.
Thanks for tagging along, feel free to ask any questions.

Sounds wonderful!!!

Excellent news.

How'd things go at Cloverdale?

Whoever they put in charge of the weather needs a raise
Camp Sereno was well attended and Mike earned the Grumpy Old Archers plaque this year.
Personally my shooting left a lot to be desired, still in a strengthening mode.
I haven't seen numbers yet, but several folk said they thought attendance was well up over previous years.

I've never been, they started that after I left the area.

Ah.
I'm a relative newcomer to trad archery and Cloverdale.
My understanding is, it was once THE place to be in early June. Since then ETAR, Comptons, as well as other Gatherings and now Tannehill offer other , closer-to-home shoots.
I hope other, more seasoned trad shooter can give a more accurate, first hand account of Cloverdale.
Several of the guys I've fallen in with have well over 30 years of allegiance there. Always the second weekend in June.

Jim;
Plan to get back to IN for the shot some year, they started up after I Left in 1985.  I'd love shooting it.  How is your rehab coming along?  My shoulder is shooting a 60# Mossejaw Razorback right now.

It's 6 months since my second reverse shoulder replacement.  At 3.5 months I was shooting 30# and have progressed to mid forties shooting lefty and righty. This week I shot my 48# recurve a few dozen times.  My right shoulder was replaced and it's still a bit uncomfortable shooting left handed. Much less pain when pulling than stabilizing the bow arm. Physical therapy for another month or so just to keep getting stronger. The bow arm side takes a bit more time than string side.
