Fun Fact; Bob Burtons arm sling is event T-Shirts..

Fun Fact: It has taken this long for me to get MRI and approval and I am going into Cedars for a rebuild on my left shoulder rotator cuff and I'm going to be down and out for the count for several weeks.

Hope to see you all very soon


Best Bob B Burton

That is a long wait, sorry to hear it took that long. Take care Bob and hope all goes well for you with the surgery.

Best wishes for your surgery and rehab (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Good news is you’ll be able to drive your -6 without pain or having to be a passenger. Keep the faith !

things didn't go too good today as far as them being able to do repair because there was so much damage, the doctor said arthritis was so bad that it had shredded the muscles at the rotator cuff so he cleaned out bone spurs and arthritis. They did a nerve block on the arm, so I won't feel anything on the arm or 24 hours. Thursday and we'll know possibilities of what we can do I believe that i may need a completely new shoulder. that is a question, but hey I'm alive. They only had me set for a 2 hour time slot and had to do more operations the same day. I am sure that the next fix is going to take a long time as far as hours goes.


best regards Bob

Hope that you can recover as best towards 100% on the surgery. In 2020, Dr. Golden (CSMG) did my corrective rotator cuff surgery, and their follow up p/t on San Vincente Bl. got me back to 95% strength.
Dwight was my p/t, approx 12 visits, combined with my home workouts.

Damn Bob, that doesn't sound like the preferred scenario...but know the doctors know exactly what they're looking at so it's not all bad news. If you need a complete replacement, that's easier than some repairs. They didn't want to do a complete replacement on mine even though it looked nasty...I wasn't quite to that point yet. I asked, why the hell not?? I would've gone with one to eliminate doing it in 10 years when my recovery would've been longer and more uncomfortable. I'm sure you trust your doctors and so do I...whatever they decide, make sure they show you all of the evidence and rehab you'll need before the work is done. I know you will...all I'm doing is reinforcing what you already know. Best of luck!
