Where to carry after shoulder surgery?

[Vic303]

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?

Ouch, there Shred! Are you sure he's gonna use a screw and not a bio-absorbable anchor? That's what my doc used on my tendon repairs and the body uses that matrix to put down new bone to create the permanent anchor. Hope you have somebody at home to help you out for the 1st week. Also beware of what pain meds they give you. Not all pain meds work as well as they should in some folks (me in particular). And some have overwhelmingly unpleasant side effects...

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.
