Good to hear and see you are back in action. I need both shoulders done and will be watching for your tales on that operation. They say that is the hardest of all replacement operations. I am so right handed not sure I can fathom losing that arm for so long.

I have already had my right shoulder replaced, along with both knees and now, both hips. In my experience the shoulder was the easiest. I asked my Doc about it because I had always heard that the shoulder was the hardest also. He said that shoulder repairs, such as torn rotator cuffs comes with some difficult PT. However, a total shoulder replacement is easier than most people think. For me. the toughest part of the shoulder rehab was having my armed pinned to my body in a sling like a straight jacket. Also, the first week or so has you sleeping in a chair.

With all those replacement parts you are pretty much a bionic man at this point lol. I'm glad your recovery is going well.

I appreciate your comments on the shoulder surgeries. My dad has had both of his shoulders replaced, one actually twice, and my wife goes in a week from today for rotator cuff surgery. I just installed a bidet and a removable shower wand for her this weekend.

Knock on wood, I have all of my original joints and only one ankle repair from about 15 years ago.
 
Glad everything went well. I had knee replacement in December and have one more PT session. If you have any more parts replaced, all that will be original equipment would be your name.
