Any player out there in PSG-land go through a shoulder replacement? I am having my left shoulder replaced (due to osteoarthritis) in early February. I am wondering how soon I can get back to playing and how the replacement will affect technique related issues.
Anybody have any experience they can share?
If not... how about some shoulder jokes?

Had my left shoulder replaced about five years ago. Surgery not bad..rehab takes a while. While I did not regain full motion I can play without any issues at all.
PM Me if you want more details; I would be glad to talk with you

My wife had a reverse shoulder replacement 5.5 months ago. Still can't lift her elbow to the horizontal and has noticeable loss of strength. Just finishing her second round of PT. At least she can now sleep pain free and is just now, driving again. Not quite what we were expecting. RP

Thanks for the replies!
Mark, I PM'd you my contact information. It would be great to spend a few minutes talking about your experiences. I am glad to hear you can play without any issues. Encouraging!
Jerry, it is encouraging to hear you were back playing so soon. I will PM you my contact info.
Ron, I am glad to hear about the pain free sleep. That is a milestone I am looking forward to. Prayers for your wife's continued recovery.
On the face of it, this may be an opportunity for a concentrated effort on improving right hand technique. Maybe, it could be a time to advance PSG Theory knowledge. I dunno. We will see.
Thank you for the replies!

Good luck on your surgery Dan, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have to go bionic on at least one of my shoulders. I've broken them both in the last 10 years or so and complete recovery from that seems like a distant dream.
Will you ask your Doc if he offers quantity discounts? |
