Title: Big Bird Going Down!!
Post by: Tenpoint5 on September 14, 2011, 10:36:49 AM
This Big Bird is going down with a torn up wing. Went in this morning and got the results of the MRI. Seems I have a "Rather Large Bone Spur" and a "Torn Rotator Cuff". So I be going under the knife in 2 weeks (9/29 @ 9:30am). Probably going to be scarce for a few days after that. There goes my hunting season for this year!! (Couldn't pull back the bow anyhow, I tried)

Oh Man Chris.  Hate to hear that.  I guess you can look at it this way.....the sooner you get it fixed the sooner you will get well.  I have had a torn cuff and never got it fixed and it still bothers me for the last 30 years.

Bout time you got that fixed.  ;D

Bummer you aint going to make hunting season but its better to get things like this done in the cooler weather than the ice cold weather or the damn hot weather.

Good luck my friend and give me a call some time as I dont know your work schedule.

Sorry to hear it Chris but I'm sure things will work out fine in the end.  Too bad about the hunting but, hey, you can still load up a grocery cart and load pucks with one hand.  You should be able to milk the cleanup duties for quite a while.  ;D

Best wishes.

Chris,
To bad about hunting season. I had the same problem and the surgery took care of it. I am sure that you will find creative and meaningfull things to do on your time off. Is it day surgery or do you have to stay over night?

Remember no food or liquids 12 hours before your surgery  ;D ;D ;D Good luck with the surgery, you will do well!!!

Sorry to hear about the surgery.  Have you considered a crossbow for your hunting season?  Could even get one of the winches for cocking if the standard cocker is still to much strain.
