Went to see the Orthopedic doc today. He confirmed a rotator cuff tear (supraspinatus muscle), in my right shoulder (I'm right-handed). Had 2 options: surgery now; or cortisone shot w/ more physical therapy. We decided on shot/therapy for now, to help "get me through" Spring and Summer.
Then, the surgery will happen in the fall with recoup in the fall/winter. Oh joy.
But at least I don't have to pay for any of it (other than the time off from work for therapy, rehab, etc). So, there is a slight bright side to this predicament. 
I haven't been fishing since last November. I'm just hoping, that I'll be able to fish at least a little bit this Spring n' Summer. Otherwise, I'll just have to live vicariously through all of the threads n' posts that youse guyz put on here (which is what I've been doing since November anyway). Then, get back to it next Spring after it's all healed up. My fingers are crossed!
If anyone has any tips, that can help my shoulder...I'd love to hear about 'em! Thank you. TD
