This time, it never healed properly, I am now having a reverse shoulder replacement done. Prognosis is for wearing a sling 24/7 for 4 to 6 weeks. Then gradually increasing range of motion and strength. PT will start within a few days of post-op.
I will permanently lose some mobility, which has been very limited since the original injury on 5/28/24, from a solo bike crash.
I have been getting limited, easy miles on a bike, and, doing low stress strength and balance exercises . Going into surgery in good physical condition pays dividends at rehab time. I will have a bike on a basic mag trainer to help with the conditioning.
I am looking forward to losing all the shoulder pain I have been dealing with.
I am soon to be 73, and live alone. I have a brother here now, then a sister to be here 8/4, to help me with the recovery.
