Going Under The Knife Again

[slonezp]

Got the call today. Insurance approved my shoulder surgery. This will be the 3rd one since 2010. Scheduled for next Wednesday the 18th. Doc is going to drill a bunch of holes in my shoulder blade and sew back on the trapezius and/or rhomboid muscles that are torn off. 4-6 weeks off work and 6-8 months of PT should have me at 70-80% range of motion and hopefully pain free. With any luck I'll be back on the water just in time for all the recreational boaters .  If this one doesn't work, I'm done and just going to deal with it until I drop dead in another 40 years or so.

 

Anyway, I welcome a few prayers that the doctors don't kill me. If they do, it's been a slice and I'll see you guys on the other side.

What are you doing with that arm, you know you could switch hit mr chronic...

Best of luck to you!  Don't worry about the doctors killing you.  They're extra careful because that would cost them a fortune in increased insurance rates.  ;-)

You have got my my support. I'm pulling for you. I'll even cast for you & then hand the rod back while your rehabbing. Just picture Steve Parks in a shoulder sling while fishing. That will motivate you.

Praying for ya Sloan... Best of BR coming your way...

[NorcalBassin]

Best of luck on it being a much quicker recovery than you're expecting... maybe your PT will be a fisherman and incorporate some on the water time as part of your rehab.

Prayers for you. I am in your area if you need anything.

Well, it might not cost them more in insurance rates, but they would definitely lose a patient, and any future fees they might receive from treating him.

Good luck!

Lifted....get well soon. Get strong on the PT....those fish are going to be bigger when you hook em next time.

[Tim Kelly]

Good luck. I've got a crap shoulder too and going to see a surgeon in a few weeks. Don't really trust any of them to sort the problem out to be honest, but will be interesting to get his opinion. Hope yours gets resolved this time.

[buzzed bait]

good luck!!

[Siebert Outdoors]

Good luck and heal up quick.

I wish you well Sloan. I suspect that like me, you are too ornery to kill easily.
