I tore a rotator cuff about a month ago (not a complete tear) and have not been able to run my saw or do a lot of other things. I have been doing exercises and therapy and putting my wife's homemade ointment on it. It feels much better and I am able to most things for at least a little while. It's a little sore after cutting today, but not bad. I cut about a face cord, maybe a bit more, and it felt good to be able to do that. I don't think I could handle a bigger saw for a couple more weeks, but at least I can cut some wood. It put a smile on my face and the saw was pulling hard, so I had to share a quick video. Just noticed...was that a misfire half way through the first cut?
Good to see you back at it! All that work to get to this point is worth it huh? If I don't keep up with the strength, core and flexibility workouts I fall apart in a hurry. Keep at it!
Tough when an injury keeps you from wooding. I know it well with my thumb injury from thee months ago. Nice yo see you back at it IC! Take it slow and hoard in!
Thanks guys. I was terrified when I was told what was wrong. I was worried it was permanent, but it seems to be healing well.
