2nd. shoulder surgery -failed

Well it is 1:30 A.M. and I am here in front of the computer because I can't sleep. I am dreaming about the xray that the hospital took yesterday of my shoulder that showed the wire had pulled through the bone and come apart. I can't seem to win with the damn shoulder. 2 surgeries now and both are worthless and just leave me in pain. The Dr. is going to give me the options that may be open for me next week when I go to see him again. I don't hold out any hope for a stable repair at this point I think my rifle shooting day's with the right shoulder are over and possibly with a higher power hand gun. This sucks.
Ok, rant is over, thank's for listening.
Bill :thumbsdown:

Sorry to hear that Bill....from now on if I were you simply show up at your dr office with the biggest pistol you can find strapped on cowboy style...a great big bowie knife on the other hip...look him right in the eye, smile real big and ask "You gonna get it right this time doc?" :whistle:

Keeping you and yours in our prayers....Dk and Young

Hang in there brother! This is nothing compared to what you've already done. If you need any help I'm just down the road a bit.

Ugh! Some hurry and bring Bill a strap-on! :hysterical:

Seriously - very sorry to hear this terrible news. Keep your chin up, my friend.

Well, I was going to try a quip about Duct Tape, Bailing Wire and a hex head bolt, but it's really not appropriate . . .

Prayers for your healing Bill!

Hate to hear that Bill. I must admit, I like DK's idea though! Hang in there brother, that which doesn't kill us only serves to make us stronger. It sounds like you're gonna be one strong Son Of a Biscuit eater in the end!

Sorry to hear about the problems again. I am hoping the "Third time is a charm" turns out to be true for you.

I'll second the "third time's a charm" sentiment. Keep us posted.

Bummer, Sarge.

I hope an opportunity becomes available to salvage your "good" arm. It must be tough. Keep your chin up.

Thank's everyone, I suppose that I will have to start practicing with the left shoulder and put the BOSS system back on my Browning A-Bolt .270 for Deer season. If the right won't work then I did not spend all those year's as a sniper for nothing I still can shoot left handed it is just the problem of getting the right hand up high enough for support if I need it on a rifle stock. Oh well I will work it out.
Again thank's everyone
Bill

Your not going the VA right? :hysterical: Stay strong and safe! Ya' know, being ambidextrous is a good thing.

Well I ain't AMBY. but I sure as hell can shoot with both sides of my body, or at least I could. I suppose it will just take some time and more practice. And I don't us the VA for anything.
