Stop in for a cup of coffee

I just got back from my pre-op appt. Sadly it looks like I am an excellent candidate to get a total shoulder replacement. I can’t even take so much as a multi vitamin starting tomorrow. So I guess Bourbon Scotch and Oxy is out! They told me to sleep in clean sheets and no pets in bed the night before. My little Mal is not going to take that well! And I have to wipe down with some kind of fly paper before going in! Any of you had a shoulder replacement done?

I had a putty platt ?? done in 1986. Left shoulder. Kept popping it out of joint. I dealt with it for a few years until finally I gave in and had it fixed. Stan Levine that orthopedic surgeon for the Washington Redskins at the time did it. Was very painful operation and a long rehab. But I'm sure they already told you that. Now I think the repair is degradating because I have some pain in the left shoulder especially when I do pull-ups, dips and overhead work with weights. So I have stopped any shoulder and chest and arm exercise for a few weeks. Really pisses me off.
