About five years ago I went for a brisk walk once I got home from a very long drive. Winter here, dark with no street lights and I was walking down a steep sidewalk. Hit an ice patch on the sidewalk and took a terrible fall....in trying to avoid landing on my lower back, I rotated in the air and came down with all my weight onto my right shoulder. Torn rotator cuff. When I think back to it I laugh because it hurt so much I just lay on the sidewalk for about five minutes, trying to recover. Then it dawned on me that if I didn't get up, someone was going to drive by and think I was dead. LOL
No surgery yet. Bothers me regularly. However, luckily, I don't notice it shooting. Now, I'm only hunting so I'm not pounding out the rounds all year long. However, at age 59, it's only going to get worse if I don't do something. This thread has been interesting.
