Jon, Not good news on the shoulder. Mine was messy too. I'm at the one year mark and only a month or so ago did I feel comfortable shooting and could sleep the night without waking with pain. I didn't think the rehab was really making it better, I think it was just time. Everyone is different, but I'm more positive than I was even this winter. Keep the spirits up, get a good cutter for the job and my prayers will be with you. BTW, the attached photo was a "lefty shot with the 10 bore" 3 weeks after the surgery. Laid the barrel on the limb of a spruce tree and touched it off. It took me till June before I could lift my hand high enough to shave and get rid of the beard. On Wed morning of this week I took a gobbler with another 10 bore and did it right handed this time. Good luck and keep us posted. Randy
