Big picture. Faith and the will presented to you will come through in your time of need.
My father just had a torn rotator cuff surgery after I asked him if he thought it would be better not to have it. Being respectful, yet following my ears. I'm still out on my opinion since he is still in the rehab procedure. I've been operating with a grimace for a while, believe it to be tendonitis, and have seen people stop in their tracks after surgeries. If you can bear it, it may be better. Thats what I'm gonna do, mostly b/c I have no other option... But a dr. will tell you otherwise. Ask around and pray on it.
best of wish with healing.

Be thankful it was just marabou. One of my Cockers got hold of one of my dry fly skins from Conranch and I maen the whole rooster, cape, saddle and even wings. Thing cost me like $150.00 and lucky that I caught him before he ruined much. It's a beautiful bird in med barred ginger.

Here is that bird after I took it from him...

Yikes! She didn't tear much just knocked the sewing loose and spread the feathers everywhere lol!

Hey one thing I love about buying skins like this from Denny is he leaves all the soft hackle on them too where all the others just sell the cape or saddle and sell the soft hackle separate to make more money. I have a good many of his hens too and they have some great soft hackle for collars and palmering. However he doesn't sell low end stuff and all his roosters and hens are first class and even the stems are oval and not round to they don't roll on the hook. So if anyone wants some they better get their bank account ready, LOL!

Cool huh?

Here is my Cree skin...

I hope that things will get better for you coming up this I have to take my brother tomorrow for chemo yes we do have cancer in our family with me. I have heart problems and nerve damage to my leg also lots of arthritis. So now you know if you my aches and pains. I think it's all part of getting old skip hang in there, just keep on tying the jigs up. That's what I do. Skip to keep my mind occupied and give G3 in ship a bad time.
