I had my left shoulder replaced just over a week ago. It now matches the right side done in 2019. Reverse shoulder replacement where they flip the ball and socket around . The deltoid muscle is use to replace all the rotator cuff muscles/tendons. So I am officially in rehab which is very straight forward and done mostly at home.
Amazing medicine today: I went into the shoulder clinic at 5:15AM and was discharged the same day 5 hours later! No overnight stays with this surgeon unless absolutely necessary. (Infection risks not insurance) He has done 4 shoulder surgeries including the 2 replacements for me.
I'm out of the shooting lineup for a few months but will be back at in about 3-4 months. I can still shoot my large caliber handguns with these prosthetics. I have been shooting .44 magnums, .460 magnums and SW500 magnums on my right shoulder with no issues since 2019.
I also had a hip replaced in 2007 at age 50.(Severe arthritis) That went so well I don't even think about it ever. So I am now a 3 joint member! I am also an advocate for replacing joints instead of living with pain and limited motion.
