I went through the total shoulder arthroplasty about 5 years ago. When I went for the second replacement, other problems had to be addressed first, and then there was the scamdemic, so the other shoulder remains bone-on-bone. I have less pain from the arthritic shoulder than from the replaced one, but neither presents serious concerns. I'm about 4 years older than you. I hope you enjoy your "retirement."

Excellent compendium of the reality we face from a personal and philosophical perspective.
