300winmag,

Good going. I also live in Nevada, with a bad shoulder. The longer you sit, the worse everything gets. I was recovering from a broken femur in 2007 and was discouraged after the x-rays looked the same after 6 months. My friend Rudy who was a smoke jumper and rough stock rider told me words I will never forget- "your job everyday is work so hard you start to cry." After 4 years I am still improving and able to hunt and backpack which is a gift from God.
