Hi @maxiesmom, at 78 years old, I think weighing the pros and cons of surgery is very wise. To connect you with others, I moved your message to this existing discussion called "Shoulder Replacement Surgery: Range of motion?" in the Joint Replacements group. Click VIEW & REPLY and you can read how members @jakedduck1 and @jfsherley were also considering this surgery and the experiences of @steeldove and @edithmiller, who decided to do the surgery.
Maxiesmom, I'm glad to hear that you're exercising the healing broken shoulder. It's so important to do that whether you will have surgery or not. Do you go to physiotherapy?

Hi Colleen, I've had PT coming to my home for several weeks but insurance now wants me to go to a center, costs them less! I'm a widow and use a walker that is too heavy to lift into my car with my bad shoulder. My sister can usually help out but now her sciatica requires her to use a walker too. Such is life, one day at a time!
