Surgery

[dave roach]

To all of my friends on IW.

On Dec 9th I will be going to the hospital and the doctors are removing my rotator cuff and having a reverse total shoulder joint replacement.The building of boat has came to a stop for about 4-6 months.

After the healing I will only beable to lift no more than 10 pounds with that arm.Keep me in your thougths and prayers.

Thanks

Dave

My wife had the total replacement done 6 years ago and it works great and no pain. Hope yours goes as well and gives you relief, short pain for great gains.

Dave,

Good luck to you. Had the same reverse shoulder surgery done last Wednesday. Pain has (so far) been minimal. The muscles in my shoulder were totally shot, rotator cuff torn beyond repair and arthritis in the shoulder - after doing paint and collision work for 40+ years. My only complaint so far, is being stuck in this sling for 5 more weeks and inability to do most anything by myself.

Take care and do what the Dr's and Physical Therapists tell you.

Hope everything works great for you Dave I know you have had loads of shoulder problems, hopefully this will fix it once and for all.

Good luck with the surgery Dave. If you remember I had my right rotator cuff (and right upper bicep tendon) surgically repaired last December and I'm back full on weightlifting in the gym, bigger and stronger than before I messed it up. Listen to the docs, DO ALL THE POST SURGERY THERAPY (this is THE key to full recovery) and you'll be better than new before you know it.

 

[Stuart Barr]

Good luck and get back soon.

 

[Dan Kramer]

Dave, hope all goes well!! Do the pt as directed, the success of any joint surgery depends on you doing your part.
