I just learned that I need rotator cuff surgery on my left shoulder. I'm left handed of course. The doc says that there is a six week no moving it at all and then a 4-6 month limited movement recovery time. I absolutely don't want to do this but the pain is now keeping me awake at night so it appears I have no choice.
The surgery will take place in about a month so I am in a count-down to do the things I like to do and want to do before I am immobilized. Did I mention no driving for at least some of the time after the surgery?
I feel this will be the times that try men's and women's souls. I don't do well as a patient and the Missus is good for about 3 days of being a nurse. After that her first sergeant persona kicks in and she expect the sick, lame, and lazy to get out of bed and get back to work, or else.
This isn't going to be fun for anyone.
Stay tuned.
