It took me almost a year from the time I first walked into the Dr. office office for my shoulder until surgery. Over a year including post surgery physical therapy
Yeah....I agree. I've had arthroscopic surgery on both of my knees (meniscus tears), and I'm familiar with the drill.
I'm trying not to be bummed out about this, as I don't have all of the facts yet, but I have a sneaking suspicion I'm going to be having surgery again sometime in the near(-ish) future, which is going to push-back my retirement.
