(Today is my 1 year Anniversary for having a Total Shoulder Replacement)
Hello to everyone at WA.
Had to share this that with everyone.
After seven shoulder surgeries within the past decades.
My titanium steel shoulder is doing well,With the screws and back plate.
Much better than the Doctor had anticipated.
5 hour surgery. No problem for me.
If anyone here in WA, Has gone thru this? I would love to speak with them.
My therapy was done,only at (6) sessions,At a rehab center for the police department ,And the fire department,That have had been thru extensive trauma.
My Doctor pulled me out of therapy and told me that I have plenty of knowledge on this and that I should be able to make my arm work again.That is what I did.
I had done much research before getting the right Doctor,To perform this task.
Most people will state the fact,And say that they have the best Doctor,This is so not true.
Before I had this procedure done,I watched many different videos on the surgery.
The people that I thought that had thick skin,Had to walk away from the viewing.
While I run 3.5 miles per day,This what I was thinking about today.
Thanks to everyone that reads this.
I am very glad to be a part of WA.
To everyone out here,Have a great day,And a better tomorrow.

Ken, my friend, I am glad it is over, it is, isn’t it?
I have a shoulder with sever muscle and nerve
damage. No replacement. Be Blessed.
Thanks Ken,
It will never be over.
I am very glad for you that you do not have to go down this road.
However with the right Surgeon,One may be able to live life pain free
for a bit.Ken
Sorry Ken,
The pain got so bad,That I went thru the Front of the Doctors Office.
Went right thru the room,When the Doctor was in with a patient.
At that point,I told the Doctor.I need your help now.
He told me that he will never forget that.
I kicked the door right open.
Had to do that Ken,
In my book,This Doctor is in my top 10.
He will be in my live as long as,I am in this world.
