 Still recovering from a total Hip replacement and now both shoulders are toast  :o : I got 2 cortisone shots in each shoulder last week and follow up in 6 weeks for MRI to determine if surgery is around the corner . Looks like I will be joining Tom with no high fives or pats on the back, it hurts too damn bad :(  My AC joints are bone on bone and a spur which is tearing the rotator cuff if I understood the surgeon correctly. Arthritis and old age come around fast after 30 years of operating heavy equipment. Gotta keep moving and stay active, I got things to do and fish to catch ;D

Yikes Tim!  You are a mess! (just having fun)

One day you are shortening the outfield fence at Petco Park, and the next, they are rebuilding you with titanium!  6-million dollar man indeed!

Good luck to you.

Had both shoulders repaired years ago.

Hurts every now and then for no reason at all.

I stopped calling repaired football players pu$$y's when they came back after eight weeks and could not make plays.

It is never the same after surgery.

I forget how lucky I am Tim.  32 years repairing heavy equipment and going on 71 years old, but aside from some minor arthritis I feel good.  I hope all works out for you my man....................

Thanks , guys. Construction is rough on the body and I ain't 21 anymore so I will see what the Doc says in 6 weeks. Hopefully I can deal with it a little longer and get in some fun stuff this summer and worry about it next year  ??? ???
