    Well, I am sure that we are all tired of the pictures of me passed out on the lawn. For the record I did not puke all over myself like someone else but none the less it was a rough night. Night was actually going fine till the 1/3rd full bottle of SoCo made it's way to me.

    Well I don't recall much of what happened after the swim in the pond but during all the nights festivities I managed to do a number to my shoulder. I know soon as I woke up Saturday morning that something wasn't right. I ended up shooting the entire day but was in a lot of pain. As of tonight the pain has done nothing but intensify. Well after a visit to the dr. it appears that I managed to tear my rotator cuff. So it appears that softball is over for me this season and I will find out in a few days how soon I will be able to get back to shooting the bow.

    Damn man, that's rough. I hope the tear isn't bad and I certainly hope it had nothing to do with the tent tackle...:cry:

    Ferg, real sorry to hear that buddy. Dude I have some bad news for you. 2 guys at work had rotator surg. done, & you won't be huntn' w/a bow this yr. They had it done last yr & are just starting to get the strength back to pull a bow back. It's a real long healing process, & don't push it or it will take longer. Man, I'm real sorry to hear that. Take care. Keep in touch.

    Well I am not thinking that it is that serious but I will find out soon enough. I am figuring if it was that bad I wouldn't have been able to shoot at all on saturday. That did explain why I couldn't throw the football at all on Sunday morning with Buck-o.

    Easy killer! That might be how them Old Wisconsin boys heal, but I had my surgery on December 14th and was shooting my bow (a few shots) in the beginning of march...

    Fergy, again... I apologize if I were the cause.

    I actually remember those falls and I was thinking that was probably the cause also.

    Sorry buddy, I was hoping after the call last night that it wasn't going to be so serious. I hunted with a fractured elbow back in 05 and ended up doing more damage to it. Keep me posted and maybe we can find you a left handed bow for the meantime;)
