    Hope to Get Back to Scrapping SOON!!!!!!!

    I had Shoulder surgery this week after being able to do almost nothing for 3 months.......



    I have a huge pile to deal with, almost got to the point of selling everything as is... I think I have around 120 computers 500lbs of boxes of parts.... plus more..

    it was and is driving me nuts to have that all hanging over my head 24hours a day.. Still have a few months of physical therapy but at least its heading the right way now..

    Had the rotator cuff surgery 2 years ago best advice is do your stretches and exercises faithfully it will a huge difference in your recovery. First three week will be the worst. One month from now you can start working on your stash and will be happy to have something to do and get some cash flow. I just had total knee replacement 10 weeks ago and will be heading back to my full time on Monday. I was happy that I had a pile to work on after the first month. THE best thing I did was have a pile to work when the time came. Good luck and all the best to you. In 6 months you won't even remember you were hurt.

    My main issue was the biceps tendon was dislocated from the bone completely, and a had other areas of tearing and fraying.... Basicly and really trashed the shoulder. thanks for the good wishes...
    The wife will be very very happy when we can see the garage floor...

    Best wishes and good luck. And listen to your doctor and pt. My mom had a total knee done not long ago and was told it was ok for stairs sooner than she expected because she listened.

    Keep the stash, you'll need it to pass the time as your able to.

    I ripped my (lower) Distal Tendon completely of the Radius bone a couple of years ago. Still had about 50% use till the surgery then it felt like a boat anchor for about a week. Actually found a forum for others recovering but they were mostly body builders it seemed and I just couldn't relate. Muscles are for using not for looking at.
