vizslas Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 went in for a shoulder surgery on the 31 st August. The MRI and ex rays all indicated a minor injury to the rotator cuff. I was supposed to be back to full strength in 2 to 3 weeks. Crap it ended up being torn all the way through. i guess it could have been worse, the Dr. said it was a small tear but it went all the way through. So now instead of picking up my bow to get ready for the hunt , I will be going to physical therapy. I hope to be up and running for crossbow season, but not without a crank for the bow. I go see my Dr. on the 11th so until then all I have to do is keep my shoulder stretched ... bored and its only day four. At least i have time to do my shopping. GOOD LUCK out there AND BE SAFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolc123 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 The first few weeks of archery season are usually pretty slow anyhow, and the proper control of the aging temperature for the meat is a little more difficult in the warmer weather. You should be good to go for "prime-time" peak-rut week, which always starts around November 5 (the day after Crossbow opens) in these parts. I will send out a prayer for your speedy and full recovery. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampy Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Had mine done on May 4th. I've come a long way with the physical therapy, but still not 100% yet. Maybe 70%. But I am shooting my bow! Wishing you good luck and will send good thoughts and prayers. Listen to those PT people and work hard! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Make sure you have re-habed enough that you don't make things worse . You could screw up your shoulder by just climbing into a ladder stand . Hope everything works out for you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
