I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder one month before the Pa. Deer opener back in 2006. I was out there opening morning, Rehawk in the left hand. The Doc and my wife weren't too happy but I tied my right arm in tight to my body so I couldn't reach out to grab something if I fell and off to the woods I went.
I tore both patellar tendons in mid October 2009, that did keep me out of the woods that year, I wasn't even allowed to stand for 2 weeks after surgery. Long road back, the lesson there is don't fall down the steps.
