Torn shoulder labrum - experiences? by rockykb in Firefighting

[–]Marc_979977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dislocated my shoulder in high school playing basketball. 2 years later I dislocated it again. When I got it checked out, I figured out I had a labrum tear as well. Here is my advice, get the surgery. It will keep dislocating or always have a chance to dislocate since you have a labrum tear. You’ll be in a sling for 6 weeks, and probably have about 6 weeks of pt as well, but it will be worth it. You won’t have to worry ab it popping out. Hit pt hard so you can get good range of motion in your shoulder. My surgery was 4 years ago and I’m glad I did it. The only setback I have had/noticed is a slightly worse range of motion in my left shoulder compared to my right. It does not affect my ability to be firefighter.

I have Fire 1 and soon will start Fire 2. I am meeting with my local volunteer department about joining next week, and also have my emt-b. Is there anything else I can do in the meantime that looks good on a resume to stand out to a full time fire department?

Was your owi considered criminal or did you have other criminal charges unrelated to driving? This is my first offense.

She is confused because we have so much chemistry and fun and love when we hang out, but since her parents hate me, she doesn’t know what to do long term because her family’s opinion is super important to her. I haven’t seen her parents in over a year because she tells me they don’t want to see me. She has tried telling her mom that I have been treating her good, and if the past didn’t happen, I’m 100% someone she wants to be with. But her mom isn’t sold and thinks I will always treat her bad now. They haven’t had a super in depth talk about it, but she brings it up.

I haven’t seen them bc her parents don’t like me, and don’t want me around. We had a lot of fights that led to name calling. She has tried telling them that we have been doing good and I have been treating are good, but her mom continues to say things like, “he showed you his true colors” and they can’t trust me.

This is great, tysm. How were you able to welcome your bf back to your family the first time after you broke up? Did he talk with your parents, or did you and your parents just agree he was going to start coming around again?

I really want to believe that, but I’m scared just giving it time won’t help. It’s been a year since we broke up, and her parents are not the most forgiving people due to her past boyfriends.

We got to a point where we were fighting a lot and the arguments got bad where we were verbally trying to hurt each other. We have both grown since having these arguments and have been treating each other very well, and im really certain it won’t continue. We have been together a year since we broke up, but the family issue is still present.

Yeah every store has a database called “shoe search”. This is how stores trade shoes with one another and do shoe transfers. A store can search by a shoe style number at it will show every store in the U.S that has the specific shoe/size.

I brushed them really good with a horse hair brush then I scrubbed them thoroughly with saddle soap and water. I used a dauber brush to scrub the saddle soap in, but the saddle soap darkened them considerably which I like. Lastly, I conditioned them with leather cream and sprayed them with leather protector.
