Hi Jim @kramarpie - I am so glad you let me know the results of your visit with the surgeon. And I am so glad he is pleased. His recommendation is interesting... pushing it a little further... I had a friend who had shoulder surgery - rotator cuff surgery(?) and she said it was awful to the point of not being able to blow dry her hair, put on certain clothing, etc. I'm admiring you for the progress you've made. PS: You made me laugh on the comment of Why do they call it dope! I'm pulling for you. Will you keep checking in to let me know how things are going?
