Well I'm not so sure... I got loads in my hair over the years... and that "STILL" fell out lol. :lol:lol

Well, as Alex has said, you do imagine what people look like and I always had an image of you with a bloody great mop of hair and a beard....you know, that Rustic look, but your a shiny head like me then. :thumbs

Well a bit of an update, 10 days after surgery.
I had a nice PM today from a member on here, enquiring how it went, so I thought I would share my earlier reply to him, with those of you that might be interested. You never know what the future holds.

I went for my post op yesterday, 9 days after the shoulder replacement, they said it was healing well, but they had problems, in that both surgeons struggled to move the muscles out of the way and explains most of the bruising on my side and chest. They said they both had a workout...
So it might take longer for the muscles to settle.
Next visit, three weeks, then the start of physio.
it could be more than 6 weeks before I can drive.
However sitting here watching boxed sets of videos is quite boring. So I am probably spending more time on here lol.

I have searched the internet for a similar diagram of what was actually done.
They didn't replace the socket, only the ball, the prothesis is made of ceramic and titanium with a calcium coating, where natural bone will grow into the implant making the connection stronger by the day.
I was on strong pain killers for the first week that probably explained some of my replies lol, but now I am taking pain killers as required, but mostly late evening and during the night. My arm will be in a sling 24/7 for the next three weeks, but with a few minutes of arm movement to keep my elbow active.
Special thanks to all those members who have replied or sent PMs, it really helps.
Oh and Pete, if you can find any more jokes, it might help lol...:thumb2
Thanks,
Richard (Rustic)

Glad it has gone well... So which arm is it, I guess your dominant one, if the muscles were giving them a hard time?

I don't envy you the physio, it's had work, but I do have to say they worked wonders on Suz after she smashed her ankle. It's amazing how silly little changes in how you move a joint can have a huge knock on, on the rest of the body. She was twisting her foot slightly, to reduce the movement of the ankle, as it hurt, but in doing so, was wrecking her hip. The lady at physio spotted it straight away.

Left shoulder, replaced, so I can still write and do those things that you normally do with your right arm.
