    Default I am not having a good year


    I am not talking about orders as they are as good as ever, maybe better, but have had some trouble with my shoulder. Had a Xray a few weeks back then then an MRI and today I didn't even hear all the things that are wrong with it, but I did hear massive Rotator Cuff tear. I have had a bad shoulder for a long time, but several weeks ago this huge bump came out of no where and was big on top my shoulder. Led to all this. Don't know what I am going to do, but maybe just deal with it and keep doing what I do.

    Only other big thing is my darn boat got stuck in the slings when the lake dropped and now can't get it out. Am working on a way to pull it over the bulkhead and get it out like that, but not sure I can.

    Sucks big time though and that I do know!

    Sorry for the vent, but needed it.

    Skip, sorry to hear all of that but I'm with you. Got a pin in one shoulder and torn cartlidge in the other. My worst times are when the weather is changing. I can feel it before it starts. Wish I had an answer for you but, like you, I'm just living with it. I own stock in Advil and Motrin just to recoup some of my money. If you find a good answer please let me know. FWIW James Andrews of Birmingham (Alabama) Sports Medicine did the pin in my shoulder and I cannot recommend his organization highly enough. It seems he is only seeing pro athletes nowdays but it might be worth a shot should you need surgery.

    Got a bad shoulder myself, but not near what yours is. Godspeed a remedy for you. Wish I lived closer, things like the boat i like to figure out and take care of. Talk to the coach of the wrestling team at the high school, I bet he can fix you up with some manpower and trade for a fishing trip.

    Smooth I have just been so busy tying orders I only drop by and check stuff here and get back tying. I can't keep up. I post some, but not near as much as I use to, but that is more just being busy than anything else. I check in here a number of times each day just to make sure things are alright and help when I can.

    Thanks,

    Guys it's fun and good for a while, but it's been like this for 2 1/2 years and at times you just have to take a few days break and then feel guilty that you didn't tie any, LOL!
