They did a shoulder replacement. Just like they do for knees so she'll have quite a bit of recovery time and therapy. Sorry that I left that part out. I was in Wichita yesterday and I haven't checked to see how she's doing yet.

I bet that is painful, so sorry for her.

Diana, I'm so sorry I missed this. That sounds painful. It is a good thing she has so many people around her.

I will pray for her for sure.

I talked with her this afternoon and she said that therapy was really hard. The doctor was going to let her go this evening some time so she's probably home by now. I'm going to go over tomorrow and see how she's doing. Also, another aunt, Marva, is going to be there.

Shoulder replacement - wow! that's a a big one. The physical therapy for recovery is going to be hard and painful. She'll need grit and determination to get through it. Shoulder replacement is not common, her shoulder was really bad and she must have been in lots of pain!

I hope your Mom is one of those that will do whatever needs to be done to get better, that she can stand the pain and discomfort to get her shoulder mobility back.

Yes, she had been in a lot of pain, but I only heard her talk about it once. She's not one to complain. She had already tried several other things and it had gotten to where there wasn't anything else to do and it was only going to get worse. She's been working on her therapy and yes, she's very determined to get better and back with her life. The pain must be really bad to do her exercises. She takes a pain pill before she starts but says that she can't tell that it helps much. I'm sure that it helps some and she just doesn't know it. She's a pretty tough woman!!!

Good for her, if she's tough, she'll make it!
