I tore at least my right rotator cuff when moving so under the knife I go in late March. The arthroscopic procedure and rehab should put most woodworking on hold for a while. Please be patient and know I would rather be in the shop making something.
Best wishes for a quick recovery.
Good luck with it. I have been there & done that. Also tore the Muscle that goes over the top of the Shoulder.

Good luck Mark. Go slow on the PT and you'll be back in good shape. Dominick
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Mark.
Joe
God speed for your recovery Mark.
Good luck Mark!!!
buena suerte amigo
Hey Mark, the Doc's have it down pat now. Had it done along with a few other things and they had to put in a couple anchors in the shoulder. First few trips to PT can be tough but the outcome is usually better than expected.
Anything that's foolish enough to jump on my line always comes into the boat unless I screw up.
The best of luck and keep us posted on how its going, .. Lou
Good luck Mark, had mine done late October, still not real good, had it in a sling for 7 weeks, then started the physio, it is wize to do the physio, but dont over do it, steady steady, I have my post op apointment on Feb 28, I may learn more then, I had my left arm smashed with a tractor tyre blowing up about three years ago, broke 3 ribs as well, so cant sleep on that side for to long, and cant sleep on my right side since the op, so I am sleeping sitting up in the lounge chair, I have been cheeting, the wife had a knee replacement on Jan 20, so I have been using her Tanacon 1000 electric reel, cheers Don.
Here's to a speedy recovery!
Hope you have a speedy recovery.
Mike.
Ouch! Good luck with the surgery. Also, make sure you do the physical therapy as they instruct afterwards, so it gets the strength back. It's easy to say.."done the official pt visits and I don't need to do this anymore". Keeping up the home exercises really helps with mobility.
OK, I'm back in the shop but sore. Physical therapy starts this week and I'll be the best student in this class, believe me.
A dozen or so cedar plugs were drilled today and more work in them will follow daily. It may be slower, but they will be fine soon. Bring on the albacore!!!
Glad to hear it went well! Good luck with the PT!
Best wishes for a fast recovery, but, I gotta ask... what's an Albacore?
Good luck with the pt - it will help you heal
Albacore: a legendary tuna Thunnus Alalingus rumoured to once have been plentiful off the central California coast. Generally 15-40lbs of pure fighting fish.
I hope we can catch a few this year. My family loves albacore sashimi the way I prepare it.
How's the PT coming along on that shoulder?
I am not perfect, but much better. I trade pain for improvement each day. I am happy to be back in the shop working on a large long range walnut box, two small boxes, weed eating my property and splitting wood with a splitter. Pretty lucky for six weeks after surgery!
No pain, no gain, but careful too.
Welcome back Mark. Speedy recovery. Dominick
My recovery took about a year to get "back to normal". Lost lots of strength during the time, but got it back. Hardest part about PT was regaining range of motion. Now I can fishing again.
