I’m pulling for you, roto cuff surgery is a bitch followed by difficulty sleeping and a long rehab. I had surgery on my left shoulder two weeks ago from today (up north at New England Orthopedic Surgeons) fully expecting to have both the roto cuff and biceps tendon repaired and basically planned on writing off swimming and golf until next spring. I dodged a bullet, the MRI indicated a worst case scenario, but when the surgeon got a good look inside my shoulder he determined they were both intact but extremely inflamed from rubbing on big bone spurs during all the swimming I do. He basically ended up giving my arthritic shoulder a tune up by smoothing out all the bone spurs. It’s very sore, but I have been doing PT religiously and already have close to full range of motion and should be golfing in another 4 weeks and swimming in 7-8 weeks. I hope you have the same pleasant surprise and can avoid the worst case scenario!
