Ran my loader for 4 hrs yesterday!  Had to climb up and down ladder 4 times. Shoulder took it ok. Felt ok this morning so I went and hauled a load of wood. Going to doctor tomorrow, we will talk about next course of action. Been almost 2 months since  I stove it up. Cant get in to see surgon till end of month, then I will have to wait on date to operate. Hopefully I can keep working a couple loads a day.

Shoulder pain us tough. I broke my right shoulder off the collarbone about 15 years ago,  and it still gives me a lot of pain. I hope your surgery goes well and you can get back to something  like normal.

Thanks, but I never was normal! Have to be off a cog or two in this business! Seems to be better, got to watch what I do still.

Unsure re your insurance situation but you might want to look at getting your work done across the border in Canada.  Likely significantly cheaper unless you have good insurance.

Good to here. Just don't overdo it and make it worse.
