I really had no choice but to have the surgery. I had a bad fall in my garden that created a massive tear in my rotator cuff. They originally did the rotator cuff repair but the muscle just shredded after 6 weeks. So, had the reverse replacement. Under those conditions I’m glad I had the surgery. After one year, my strength and range of motion is pretty good. I have not gained all my strength but was never promised I would. I find that I can do most things but it did take a full year to heal this well. Not to say it will take you that long. Everyone’s different. As far as pain I have none, just limited strength. Once in a while I’ll get a twinge if I move the wrong way. All in all, I’m satisfied.
When is your surgery? Did you have rotator cuff surgery before now or did you have an injury?
I really am glad we decided to go with the microwave meals. We each found our favorites and it made recovery easier not having meal prep a problem.
I pray that all goes well for you and that you have lasting benefit.
