If it’s a torn rotator cuff, gird your loins my friend. Several years back I fell while dinking with a ceiling fan and hit a piece of furniture on the way down.
The surgery was a piece of cake, the six-month recovery PT was the worst pain I’d gone through in my life. You might want to stock up on some Jack Daniels.
Wish you luck. I’m getting a cataract replaced this week (although I’ve been telling people I’m getting a new eye).
My wife had rotator cuff surgery a few years back. She had little pain but extensive PT afterward. Do as much as is needed, or more. Everyone we know who had shoulder problems after surgery failed to do the PT.
That surgery isn’t bad. I already have had mine done.
Hopefully easier than that. Rotator cuff is fine, labrum tear.
The cataract surgery is pretty easy. I had mine done two years ago and I’m very please with the results. I had corrective lens for distance vision installed and can see 20-20 in one eye and 20-15 (better than 20-20) in the other eye. The corrective lenses were $1,500/eye over and above the normal cost that medicaid paid. I can use cheapo reading glasses.
One eye needs it, the other not yet. I’m not trying to make my vision 20/20 as I’ve been wearing glasses for 30-35 years. Done in by the birth of personal computers in the early '80s and using them at home and work. I recently started having issues with night driving and small print. I get my new eye tomorrow.
Recently night driving started to get to me a little , but I think only when it is raining
Night driving was my major complaint as well. The surgery made a huge difference, it was like looking through my eyes when I was 20 years old! I can count the leaves on an ash tree twig from 200 feet away.
I’m sure that’s possible, but it sounds to me like this happens to a lot of people, regardless of screen time.
I have an opthamologist friend whos says the average adult needs reading glasses around age 42.
Couple the green screen CRT of my Apple IIe with a few hours of work and a lot of hours writing papers and outlines for law school, and it will cross your eyes.
I had lasik at 31 and they told me I would eventually need readers, and there was no surgery for that.
I finally needed them at about 50.
Well you’ll be a pirate for a few days. Let us know how it goes
Oh, the declaims it! It should have been oblivious. 
Arrrrgggh, matey. Disappointed that no one gave me an eye patch. Sent me out the door with my dark glasses. Eye still swollen and dilated, but I can sorta see with it.
Shouid have got an eye patch and parrot.
I have tried to get him to adopt me!!
You’d look weird on his shoulder.
When I had knee surgery. I was on crutches then I needed cataract surgery.
So my mom sent me a stuff parrot.
I was a pirate for awhile.
I was using a scooter after my toe surgery.
My wife called me “hop along” I said I was riding my Harley!
No. I’d look weird on his shoulder.
