@ROBOCOLOGY: tried to messgae you 2x about my shoulder replacement and the 'send', button is missing, wth.
Anyway, had the right shoulder replaced Feb 14 (guess i should have gotten a date intead?) and the 19 staples out this last Wednesday. had the left shoulder done in 2010, both times the 'reverse' procedure...same hospital, same surgeon, but absolutely like night & day...unlike in '10, had full use of my fingers upon waking up, looking at i think 8-ish weeks of rehab vs. almost a year, even the scar runs about 180 degrees to the older one. I was SO dreading the surgery & aftermath based on previous experience, but i can say i'm practically delirious with joy every day now! Good luck to you!

I'm delirious to hear about your speedy recovery and am reminded of the time @robecology with his masters degree in science (sports?) declared that he could prove that the observable universe was considerably less than 46 billion light years radius before banning me upon asking for his proof.

Mom had the reverse surgery done I think last year. At 90, she had no real problems with it the procedure. Still has some stiffness and can't lift her arm up the whole way, but not nearly as much pain as when it was dislocating every other week before she had it done. Glad to hear yours went well and you are on your way to a good recovery.

Messaging appears to no longer work here. Little by little, neglect deteriorates the site. Best to make arrangements to be in touch with those whom you would like to be when this place dies.
