If you had a repair you should be ready to fish pretty quick. I had both shoulders repaired (Rotator cuff/Bone Spur & Clavicle Excise) and felt good within weeks after each surgery.Quote:

Take it easy, do what your Dr. says and DO NOT miss any physical therapy appointments, regardless of how bad they hurt in the beginning.
Good luck with it.

Just a bunch of other problems.
Just take it easy Nathan. Them fish ain't going anywhere:biggrin. Now might be a good time to let the boys break in the new catfish rod:yikes.
Get well soon Netman!
Good luck Netman.
Netman, I have a lot of empathy for you right now. Hope your rehab goes well and hang in there. I will be praying for you and your support group!
Good luck and like many said, follow the orders, then you will get to fish earlier.
