Good afternoon, @morkat. It was great to see this post from you. I would guess that you read a lot more posts than you write. Members in this group would benefit from hearing more from you. I have had several spine surgeries including a laminectomy in the lumbar area and fusions in the cervical area. Both my shoulders have been surgical candidates.....the right one three times until a reverse replacement stopped the pain. I have heard my surgeons tell me.....".don't fall I can't fix you." Does that mean I am reaching inoperable status?

The other statement that rang a bell with me was your recommendation that you must have patience and follow instructions. So what else do you do to adjust to your condition? Do you do mind/bodywork like mindfulness and meditation?

May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris
