This is my second rotator cuff surgery, so I have a fair idea what to expect. Six weeks in a sling, and at least 6 months of Personal Torture - I mean Physical Therapy - sessions.

At least this time, it will be my right (non-dominant) arm which should be a little easier. I know when we did my left arm, it made me crazy - I couldn't even write for nearly 6 weeks... poor De had to sign all the checks.

Surprisingly, my right shoulder had more wrong with it than the left one did. Not only is the bicep tendon mostly detached, the rotator cuff was torn by a bone spur that has come up right in the middle of it.

I always say, when I screw something up, I don't do it halfway. Propeller

Give my best to your wife. I have had three rotator cuff surgeries total. None of them were pleasant after the Pain Ball line they had inserted into the cuff area ran out of pain med to pump.

Doc said I would know when it ran out after surgery. He was right.. Thankfully some heavy duty pain pills were able to keep it under control.. The worst past imo was taking the arm out of the sling and a therapist trying to move my arm and should for the first time. Those muscles did not want to move and let you know it.

I hope all goes well for her though. She has to be careful with that arm and shoulder in the future though because it more easily could become torn again like mine did one year later. And then you have a second surgery on the same rotator cuff.

And no, it wasn't any better the second time.. Hopefully she will be smarter than me.. It won;t take much effort to do that but just saying...

While in Philly go to Constitution square and see some history.... You won't forget it.... I din't.

Hope ya guys enjoy it!
