Went in this morning and had my left shoulder rebuilt, several bone spurs shaved down, tears repaired and bicept detached, trimmed and reattached to the shoulder so it looks like fishing is over for me for a while. According to my doctor, I probably wont get back on the water for 9-12 months!! The nerve block has worn off, so no sleep for me tonight. Good luck fishing, everyone and be safe on the water.
Have a speedy recovery. Shoulder surgery isn't any fun.
9-12 months is a long time. I'll try to avoid shoulder surgery if at all possible. Good luck with the healing.
Hope there's no complications and you heal quickly. You might as well make the best of it, all that money you're not spending fishing can be used to buy more gear and tackle. ;D
I hope you have a speedy recovery. Rehab is where it's at. ~rant
Got ya in my daily prayers buddy. Don't push the Rehab, don't want you to do any damage. Stay in touch when you can.

Man I hope your recovery goes faster than what they're predicting, but don't overdo it. Praying you're healthy and back on the water soon.
Dang it boy.... First if you need ANYTHING you got my number...
Second, I've been through almost all of that and the recovery is tough, the PT was the most painful thing I've experienced, mostly because I didn't do the home work and when I got to the appointments they would make up for it. SO DO THE HOME WORK...
9-12 months... they don't know what they are talking about I'll have you cane pole fishing for perch by summer LOL
Seriously anything, just call. Heck I'll take you out for a boat ride if it will lift your spirits.
Thanks, everyone. It hasnt been as bad as I thought it would be. SO FAR. I started PT Tuesday, and go 3x per week for 12 weeks. I honestly dont see why it would take so long to recover from this so far. My PT lady was impressed with the amount of movement I have this soon after surgery. I either had a fantastic doctor or am just luck so far. I figured this would have been worse than my back surgery, but its not even close.
PT is a tough one but a must for any success. Don't ever miss PT. Good luck!
Well, recovery is going pretty good, all things considered. PT SUCKS, LOL!! My range of movement is coming along pretty well, but I seem to have a "catch" in the shoulder when I move a certain way that immediately reminds me that Im not healed yet. The main thing slowing me down is where the bicept is attached back to the shoulder. It is slow healing with that, but its coming along. The big thing is Im not one to just be able to sit around and watch television all day. Shoot, if you can keep me still for more than an hour, you've done something. I am finding all kinds of ways to get into trouble since its me and the puppy at home all day. lo
Nutt,
Tks for the update and we still have ya in our daily prayers.
Great to hear... Offer still stands brother, anything I can do to help let me know... I'm a heck of a tic tac toe player, we can kill some time ~roflmao
Thanks, everyone. I started back to work this morning. I actually fished a tournament with my nephew on Cross Lake this past Sunday, much to my wifes disapproval. The doctor wasnt pleased yesterday at my appointment when I told him, but what does he know, right? LOL We did ok in the tournament, but I will say that setting the hook was not a pleasant thing to do, but I lived thru it all. Still doing PT, and am coming along.
Nutt,
Tks for the update. Glad you were feeling well enough to fish the tournament. Hopefully you won't be playing for that outing in the near future with some pain in the shoulders ~shade
