Recovery from reverse shoulder replacement

Update:Here I was-all happy and positive. Yesterday I was visiting my brother on his birthday. We were walking back from lunch and I tripped on an uneven 2 inch edge at the end of his driveway. Fractured my wrist in three places-my survey arm wrist. Also strained something under my breast that makes it impossible to move quickly or take a deep breath. And my left wrist is sore and my ring finger is swollen and black and blue.
I am pretty sure having a cast or a splint on my arm is going to make shoulder rehab take a back seat for awhile.
I am focusing on staying calm, taking easy small breaths and waiting to see what the Ortho surgeon says this week.

That is on my surgery arm not a survey arm. 😇

Oh, my goodness @jprust. I am so sorry about your injury. Do you have to wait until next week to see your surgeon? Have you tried using an ice machine to calm things down?

Please check in with me after your appointment with the Orthopedic surgeon. I will be here for you.
