Did you have your shoulder replacement at Mayo? How long did you stay there. I need two shoulders and am 82. I was told Recovery is very tough, And very long. Please talk to me.

I think you were probably asking @jprust, but I had mine at Mayo last week. I am 69. The surgeon kept me overnight, although apparently, it is often outpatient surgery. Honestly, I don't understand how anyone could go home same day. I think that's crazy! I have found this recovery way less painful than my rotator cuff surgery. It has been quite tolerable. I only took Oxycodone for two days. Now just taking Tylenol. Sleeping has been the hardest part for me. I'm only sleeping from about 2-4 hours a night and I'm exhausted. I just can't fall asleep on my back. I am typically a stomach sleeper. Wishing you good luck:)
