    Default A PSA from BP Tactical Services

    Howdy all!
    First and foremost may you all have a great Valentines Day!

    Now on to business.
    As many know I returned to full time employment last summer running a machine shop. Heavy and physical work.
    A few months ago I was at work and felt a twinge in my elbow while tightening the chuck on the big lathe.
    No big deal, I figured I just pulled a muscle or strained something, not unexpected as it has been a while since I did heavy work like this and I'm not 20 years old anymore.
    I worked through it, it was sore and I figured it would go away.
    Well, it hasn't. I went to the Dr and lo and behold, I managed to tear the muscles and tendons where they attach to the bone in my elbow.

    To make a long story short I will be having surgery in a couple of weeks to repair the damage. I will not have tangible use of my left arm for 6-8 weeks post surgery so during that period I will not be doing much Gunsmithing work.

    Just wanted to let my peeps know in advance.

    Thank You

    Good luck on a speedy recovery. Listen to the Doctor and don't rush it.

    Your dominant arm? that would suck. I had surgery on my elbow for neurological issues before. Sucks, there are all sorts of things both public and private that become remarkably hard to adjust to your non dominant hand. Follow the physical therapy to stretch your muscles and tendons out for full range of motion to the letter. It took a long time for me to be able to fully extend my arm. All my work was done at Panorama Orthopedic.

    At least your "right hand" is ok
    If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.

    So sorry to hear that. Mainly because I was just going to email you about threading a couple of barrels.

    Hope you feel better soon.
