But eventually they did, like everyone I have good days and bad days but thankfully there have been more of the good of late.
Had shoulder surgery a couple of weeks ago to repair and reattach some torn ligaments & reattach part of my bicep. Having to wear a sling is a pain in the proverbial, but that aside I think I am as close to pain free as I will ever get. Thankfully it is at its lowest point on average, than it has been for decades. All I need now is the shoulder to heal enough to get back to work.
Thought I would add a quick update as I haven't been on the computer much lately. The positive attitudes and the advice from this forum has been a big part in my recovery so far and I would like to say thanks.

Good to learn your pain is better controlled; but WOW; you have been thru a lot. Since your repair has only been a couple of weeks,
you are still probably on the mend. Hopefully once that settles down, you will have even more good days.
