These surgeries have come a long way there’s plenty of dr’s that do them, plenty of dr’s that do them well, and some that specialize in a certain type. The one I used, is pretty good at several. Truth is you can talk to a lot of people that have had various surgeries, but that doesn’t mean, their problem was the same as yours. A friend just had the same surgery and his was bone on bone, mine was an injury. We had different problems, got different instructions on healing up. I figured his was easier and he’d heal quicker. I heard it takes 6 months to a year to recover, he’s 12 weeks into his and is healed enough, he scheduled surgery on the other shoulder. The same dr did his hip when he fell and.broke it.
Mine is off to a very good start. Choose Wisely pilgrim.

Bump. Day 3 the pain blocker has pretty much worn off. I’m stiff and sore, but trying to stay ahead of real pain. About 3 times a day, I get up and brace myself next to something steady(heavy oak kitchen table) for balance and swing my arm, back and forth and in circles. I start actual physical therapy next Wednesday but I want to keep things moving. It would be real easy to do nothing and get locked up.
So far I’m still very pleased with the outcome.

Thanks for the update. Glad it went well, and yes, some of the docs have plenty of experience. My knee replacement was done by one that knows his way. I walked out the same day, went home with no pain. Physical therapy was the painful part.
Good to hear you're doing that well so soon.That encourages me to look into having mine done. Be sure to do ALL the therapy exercises when you start yours.
Prayers sent!!! Take 5 deep breaths every hour while awake to prevent pneumonia, and pump your immune system(lymph)

Bump day 4. Wearing that sling is enough to drive a guy crazy. Don’t know if I mentioned it, and I’m not even sure what’s normal, but they had to move a tendon from my bicep to my pectoral. I think the arm is designed to hang full length and not bent in an L. I will sleep in my sling so my arm doesn’t fall, but the rest of the day I want my arm to hang like it normally does.
Still using the kitchen table for balance, and bent at the waist letting my arm hang and swinging my arm as much as I can. I start PT on Wednesday, but many doctors are giving the surgery appendage time to heal. Not a bad idea as far as I’m concerned.
