Dear Doctor
If I did to you what your shoulder surgery has done to me, I'd be arrested for aggravated mayhem.
This would cost me dearly, but your future patients would be safer!

Congratulations on a successful op. Twenty odd years ago you would have been stuffed for life. Now it is routine surgery with a very high recovery rate.
Just make sure you follow the docs orders to the letter.
My wife had a shoulder reversal complete with complex bone grafts in May and so have two others we know since. She totally obeyed the Doc and physio and is fully recovered. She did not drive for three months and cannot put clothes on the wash line or lift more than 5kg with that arm for life but she is now almost as good as new and totally pain free.
One friend was driving two days after the op and cannot understand why she is having so much trouble with her recovery. The other noted the difference and is religiously obeying the experts.

I had my right shoulder done 24 years ago. I have a 6 inch scar that runs from the front all the way underneath to the armpit, and 3 scars where the anchors/pins were inserted. My recovery included 6 weeks of immobility followed by 6 months of rehab. And my procedure was a successful one with no complications.
A friend of mine just had the same procedure done. He has two small incisions, the procedure was done arthroscopic and his rehab recovery is down to "weeks" compared to my months.

If only this were mirrored in warship and warplane construction!
Minimally invasive surgery has dramatically improved recovery times across the board. Even though I find it much less interesting

I'm actually healing well, typing this with my right hand. I'm only using Tylenol for the pain, they gave me opioids and I hate the way they made me feel. I hope this continues!

Sorry I missed this thread at the time, took a week off for Thanksgiving to be with family, glad your surgery went well, but...
Let's just say, the mask might have been an improvement...
All kidding aside, glad you came through OK, wishing you a speedy recovery my friend.
Good to hear Joe!

It'll be a while before he's shaving with that arm, so hang tight this might come to pass for real anyhow.

Great to hear your pain has subsided. If you have any left over pain killers send them to me and I'll make sure they're properly disposed of.

Well today I went to the docs, I have to wear the sling for 8 weeks to include sleeping with it. The good news is the incisions healed really well and I'm making great progress. I showed the doc that I was able to tie my shoes on my own and he was impressed. I start physical therapy next week and that will press on for about 5 months. In the mean time I'm off the opioids and antibiotics so the spirits will flow!
