16 days countdown before a complex shoulder recovery. As complicated as it is, the surgeon is warning me that it may be even more complex than we think. He IS one of the very good shoulder specialists in the area who has done a lot of work with female professional athletes, so what will be is what will be. I've some concern over the reality of living alone and having my dominant arm in an immobilizer for at least 6 weeks (and the other shoulder/hand isn't very mobile due to severe arthritis), but it's the only way to get my arm back and to prevent things from deteriorating even more than they have.

I AM looking forward to, hopefully, being able to once again be able to exercise properly (and other things) by this time next year!
