If anyone needs information about getting a full shoulder joint replacement,
I am now qualified. I went into the hospital at 5:30 am on Wednesday and
made my escape yesterday about 2 pm. The surgery ended up lasting 3 1/2
hours rather than the guesstimated 2 hours due to a lot more bone spurs than
anticipated. Two surgeons did the work and the net result was that the fit was
excellent and that I'll get a lot more mobility than I had prior to the surgery.
I should have had this done earlier but I lucked out and didn't wait until it was
totaled. The rehab should be interesting but so far this is easier than my knee was.
Anyone else out there done this who may have some good advice or do's and don't's from
your experience?
My carrot for recovery is to be able to get back in the Cobra and go for a ride!
I am sure that I can look forward to even more fun going through airport security.
