Listen to your body, if you hurt hang it up. I'd rather have my tax money pay you disability than to have it pay for some scum that just doesn't want to work.
It was a hell of a ride...

Rotator cuff?

Yup, I kept telling the doc it wasn't getting better. He released me, said it was fine. Went to another doc for my disability assessment, he x rayed it and recommend ed surgery. Ins. Co. Sent me to Anchorage to see their doc and he ordered an MRI and recommend ed surgery. So I basically spent the last six months rehabbing a busted shoulder. Got to start the whole process over.
Another update: Insurance will pay for the surgery in Texas, but I have to get myself down there. I have to get back to Great Falls to get my truck and then drive down. It's the rotator cuff, which they didn't fix the first time. I basically spent six months trying to rehab a busted shoulder. I definitely don't want to have another surgery up here, the best doc already took his best shot.
Anyway, I set up a gofundme acct, if anybody wants to maybe cut into the beer budget this weekend and chip in I sure would appreciate it. I just want to get back home, get healed up, and get back to smelling two stroke!

I did it by the books Chris and it still didnt matter, shouldn't have walked away from it
Yeah, I'm gonna try boring for a while, maybe a desk job.
Sales arborist can be a pretty good gig. At least it will keep you in the biz. You seem like a knowledgeable guy. Start making the money selling and let the other guys do the back breaking work

Be thankful you can talk about the unfortunate incident. Be prepared for a lengthy recovery n rehab period after the surgery. It takes so long to get shoulder strength back. Climbing too soon would likely do more harm than good.

Well I am still amazed I never took anything other than regular Tylenol but then I could not sleep for a month after my wreck! The human body is amazingly tough as long as we don't surrender imo. I hope to be climbing til 70 granted not like I did at 30 but lol
Jolly will be back on rope he is a climber and he will overcome the pain climbing is a blood thing imo it gets in the blood for life.

All of us old orthopedic wrecks'll need push button up n down, push button start n stop trimsaws, inline oxygen feeds, the works!
There's more satisfaction doing fine class one pruning of huge trees, than being their grim reaper however respectfully.
I know a few 70 plus climbers myself, but they're only good for a half day climbin.
I'm not any good for much more than half a day myself lately!
Don't tell me that hospital didn't hook you up on some kinda morphine during your stay Rope!
You ain't that tough!
