    Were you getting any sort of workers' comp? If so, how will quitting affect that?

    Shoulder injury sucks. They never really heal.

    Some people wind up in a rotating surgery every 5 years.

    Some wind up hooked on Norco.

    I have shoulder rotor cup issues, and I still keep throwing the chains and straps over. Pain?, yes......comes and goes but I keep moving. I have my brain programed that the show must go on. BTW, no meds for pain. I take it old school style 101.
