Urban,
Ouch, that sounds like a major owee you got there! Can you sleep in a real bed now? I can only be somewhat comfortable in the night by sleeping in a recliner. I just had my follow up with the doc. My problem started with bone spurs. He shaved bone spurs, anchored the labrum back to the bone with screws and sutures, and sutured up the rotator cuff. It's going to be quite a while before I cast another line. I've got a lot of therapy to go before I can even put any work load on my arm. I'm not expecting to land any salmon this autumn. Sounds like we both did a number to ourselves. I've got two new Rogue rods coming in that I got at $50 off of retail each, now I'll only get to look at them until I get the green light.
BTW- Vicodin has acetaminophen in it which is very toxic to the liver when you mix it with even a little bit of alcohol.Be careful with that stuff :+
