For those who remember

[SamanthaJ]

Last year I injured my shoulder in a car accident and missed most of deer season. Well the physical therapy was not helping so I ended up having surgery on my shoulder almost 4 weeks ago. The healing process is a very slow one. I'm in physical therapy again, probably until right before primitive weapon hunting season. I'm also still in an arm sling until June 2. I should be able to fish after getting out of the sling and more good news is I shouldn't miss any of this coming deer season. I am blessed!

I haven't really chatted with many of you. I joined this forum to get some new hunting, fishing, and hiking buddies so please feel free to PM me anytime, I'd love to chat.

Glad you are on the mend and I hope the fix is permanent.

Don't push to hard too fast on the rehab and you'll be back in the woods in no time!

Glad the report is good.

Hope you get a chance to get after them during primitive weapons season.

Take care of yourself while you young,those bones are harder to heal as we get older.

Hope you heal up soon. Taking care of that shoulder and getting it back to normal is priority 1 right now, the fish and deer aren't going anywhere.

Wishing you a quick recovery!

 

[Grey Man]

Hope your recovery goes well. Don't rush it!

Shoulders are the toughest joint to heal, fortunately, you appear to be younger than most of us old folks ! Still, take it easy, keep your expectations modest. One day you may feel great and want to push it, but don't. You have a lot of years ahead of you, be patient and enjoy your time in the woods.

I had shoulder surgery in 2001. It is a painful recovery at first but listen to your rehab therapist and you'll be fine. As elfiii said, don't push it too hard or you'll be back at the doc's office for a do-over. I'm sure you'll be just fine by hunting season.

Be patient, don't rush it. I wish you a full and quick recovery.

Good luck. Been there and done that on multiple occasions. Had each shoulder operated on twice among other things. Rehab is key. You'll be fishing before you know it.

Get well soon

I feel your pain having had 4 shoulder surgeries. The last one was a total reverse replacement back in August '15. Physical therapy in no fun to say the least but absolutely vital to regaining function. The shoulder is a very complicated part of your body. The good news is I was able to paddle a short section of the Chatooga river last weekend, something I never expected to experience again. You might look into getting the lightest possible rifle you can find. I'm still using my trusty Model 700 but its hard to hold steady without a rest. I traded up a collapsible pair of hiking staffs a couple of weeks ago which I plan to use as a rifle rest when I'm still-hunting.

Good news. Praying for a full recovery.
