Shawn, my prayers and thoughts are with you! As far as possibly missing turkey season, on the bright side you will be pain free for many seasons yet to come! Mike

Good luck and a quick recovery Shawn. I'm having pretty much the same procedure on 4/14/08.

QuoteThe only bummer is I may miss all of turkey season!

This maybe but you'll be good to go for deer season

Just coming off of a shoulder surgery 4 weeks ago myself...Luckily, it didn't involve the rotator cuff...so it's been a faster return.

As stated, do EXACTLY what the doc's tell you, BUT....ask LOTS of questions. They're not used to people who will a) Push through pain b) do MORE than what they're told they're allowed.

5+ years ago with the other shoulder and rotator tears, I kept repeating, "tell me where the line is between pain and damaging my recovery!"

It made a huge difference when it came to "pushing too hard" and having setbacks.

This time, there was less soft tissue damage and repair, mostly bone ground down, so they didn't give it much thought...and I over-did it and got tendonitis. NOW I'm getting PT and it's going better again.

Make sure you know EXACTLY what you can do and do only what you're supposed to...like Daryl Waltrip says on Fox re: racing..."Gotta sometimes slow down to go faster!"

Good luck and wishing a speedy recovery. I went through major shoulder surgery myself in 2001. the result: went from shooting a crossbow to now shooting a 62# recurve.
Prayers sent your way for a speedy recovery!
