hi ted. please excuse the 1 handed typing.
this is my 3rd surgery. 2 rt side last year, now the left side. i missed all of last year. went fishing once, on a farm pond with my 4 wt for sunfish..no streams.

i also race a vintage formula vee, but not last year, also no hunting, and no toy airplane flying.. not a good year.

i will start PT in about 2-3 weeks.. my advice.. take it easy.. if it hurts more than a mild ache,,, don't do it.....and don't let them make you do it, or stretch you too strongly...i did....mistake..save the pain pills for after PT..tequila also helps

don't lift any more than you have to..
don't reach over your head for anything. luckily my wife took very good care of me,, at first.. than i messed up and had to have the second surgery.

first time was last february, arthroscopic,,second time the big cut..

my last surgery for my rt. side was last june and it still isn't back to normal..
it is a minimum of 6 months recovery, if you take it easy,, if you screw up...
much longer. good luck i live in central pa..thart9146@comcast.net let me know how things go for you,,tom
