Yea, the doc said something about a dissolving screw, I just left that part out. My wife will be there, I'm sure she's looking forward to it. He gave me Vicodin for the pain I have now, I hate it, makes me dizzy and loopy and I can't sleep. I'll ask for something different before he puts me out

Thanks for the heads up.

Well, after not getting better I went to an orthopedic surgeon and had an MRI, I have surgery next week, I have a full thickness supraspinatus tendon rupture with a 13mm gap. He said he'll drive a screw in the bone and use it as an anchor to repair the tendon. 1 month in sling, 2 more months of rehab and 6 months to 1 year to full recovery. I bought a left hand paddle holster for my XD and PT145 and have been practicing non dominant draw and fire with my dominant right arm pinned to my side, I hit COM every shot, but head shots are out of the question this way, I tend to pull down and left enough to miss over half of head shots. I usually carry a 45, but the XD 9mm is much easier to shoot left handed. At least 2 more trips to PSC are planned.

How did yours turn out skip?

I've been having shoulder problems and draw practice was painful. After 3 weeks of this I went to my doc yesterday, x-ray was negative, he says it's a torn deltoid muscle, gave me Celebrex which really helped, he said it could be a month or 12 months, depends on how much I tore it. When he told me to remove my shirt I told him about the .45 on my hip, he's a fellow CHLer and we always talk about guns after that. We're not friends by any stretch, he has hundreds of patients I'm sure, but I remember he's gun friendly, he seems surprised most times when he sees mine, but very pleasant. A torn muscle is WAY better than what you guys have had and I read this thread days ago and was getting very worried. Good luck on the rehab.
