After dealing with a rotator cuff injury and severe encapsulation of the left shoulder, and months of physical therapy, I have regained almost all of my range of motion! I'm even able to shoot weak-side freehand! I've never felt as exposed as I have since June, knowing that I did not have full range of motion or strength in the left arm. Gosh, it feels good to be able to shoot normally, again!

Make sure you get full value out of today , Do something worthwhile, because what you do today will cost you one day off the rest of your life .

Good to hear that Tom - I recall mention of this problem way back - and it is often a long hard slog going thru recovery in such cases.
Enjoy your new found (regained) freedom but as QK says - work your way in steadily and don't overdo it.

Good for you! Several years back I had surgery on my right shoulder for a torn rotator cuff, chronic bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis and to remove several large bone chips. Not fun at all! Took a solid six months out of commission. Shoulder injuries are the pits......

Tom, great to hear from you. Glad the shoulder is better. Any news on the kidney situation? You are still on my prayer list and will be until the situation is resolved.

Nice Thanksgiving gift you got!

Thank you. No news on a transplant. I'm still hoping for a live donor. The disease is affecting other tissues in the body, and I go in for abdominal wall repair on Friday (to repair spots where the abdominal wall is breaking down), but I remain hopeful. Maybe they will find a spare and drop one in while they have the hood open!Originally Posted by dr_cmg

Tom,
That's great news, glad to hear you are back up to speed and going to the range. Keep us posted on any updates in reguards to the transplant. You still hold a spot on our prayer list too.
