Re: rough month

FWIW, my mother (who is in her 70's) has been replacing things for the last
year and is very close to being pain free. (July1- left knee, Sept 23- left
hip, Jan 5 right hip and is now scheduled for right knee June 30th)  She is
now sorry she waited and endured all that pain for years.  I won't say it is
easy, but the pain of PT in her case was a breese after not being able to walk
for so long.
 
Do let us know what the doctor says about your shoulder.

Yes, I would have had the joints done a couple of years ago, but we were
"between" insurance, since the company DH worked for went belly-up.
I'm glad to have this opportunity.

Thanks for keeping it on your prayer list. I hope for relief of pain, someday.
Just a walk around Costco to get some cat food today was agony.
