I've had my left rotator cuff repaired in '15. After nearly 7 years it's...

about 75%. The sawbones had to used tissue donation to repair it (had to rob the organ bank). I got a nice card from the donor family.

75% was what was to be expected. At the same time I also fubar'ed my left elbow so I had it surgically repaired (I got a BOGO) too. A nice long scar on the outside of my left arm at the elbow. Now I'm going to have a matching scar on the inside of my left arm at the elbow.

The rotator cuff surgery was the 2nd hardest surgery I've ever had, and I've had way too many. The hardest surgery? Was the replacement of the basal joint of my right thumb. I'm holding off the left basal joint for as long as possible (I got a cortisone shot in it today, good for about 4 months))

I've had both knees replaced and they were a walk in the park compared to the basal joint surgery.

"-the biceps tendon at the elbow will not grow back to the bone and heal." -- great2bahokie 04/28/2022 11:42AM

I know right. ** -- Major Kong 04/28/2022 11:43AM
