Re: Shoulder Surgery Questions

I had rotator cuff surgery about two years ago on my dominate right shoulder. I had put off the surgery for years and the problem only got worse. It had long since gotten to the point that I was making major lifestyle adjustments to accommodate my bad shoulder. Finally I got sick of it and had the surgery. Everything went great and after 9 weeks of rehab, I was good as gold. Now I feel like a dummy for putting it off for so long.

I carry on my right side and obviously that was out of the question for a few weeks. By luck, I had a left handed holster for my HK USP .40 that I had mistakenly purchased years back and never bothered to return so I used that during my recovery.

I can understand not wanting the surgery, but if you need it, you need it. Listen to your doctor and follow ALL your rehab. It is very tempting to drop out of rehab, but listen to the professionals, and solider through it. You will be glad you did. Good luck!
