Dang Mr. Fred ! I hope you get well soon... But don't expect it, I wasn't aware they did shoulder replacements either, bt it makes sense, the shoulder is basically just a smaller hip, well kinda ..., OK NOT MY POINT!!!!! They are similar, without the cup for knobby end of the bone! I knew they re-built shoulders, I've had 2 shoulder surgeries, the second was only to trim up some bone spurs and it turned into a complete re-build! Torn labrum, he had to take it all apart and put everything back together, with plastic screws!!! I guess I didnt rate the Ti that time!
I'll be heading in under the knife in a week or 2...depending, Ive been cut on too much, and starting to wonder if I might run out of the allotted number that you can go, "under"! Kinda got the willy's about it for some reason. Did I mention this will be the third time for this knee? This is the one I destroyed in the Marines, a long long time ago. Still giving me fits, everyday!
Keep us up to date Mr. Fred , I'm sure you'll be fine, probably won't regret it, AFTER!
The after, is once you're all healed up, probably won't do it again either, if it's anything like knee replacement or hip...come to think of it, I've had friends say that they are so glad they did it, but they'd never do it again!
I will agree with you too, that is an extremely high price to pay for even grind lines!! But you got to do whatever it takes to get them straight!...., right? I thought so!
Now if I can only take some of my own advice!
