It's now >8 weeks since my shoulder surgery on February 3rd.

The progress in therapy is going excruciatingly slow but it is what it is & there's no way to rush this.
Still not using any weights or any resistance in my physical therapy for at least another month.

I hope this pace picks up soon as I've got new cues arriving in May before the CA ivory ban starts.
The notion of only holding.... staring at them has no appeal....pool cues are meant to be played with.

In the meantime, I get to ride the notorious "pain train" doing my physical therapy program.
What gives me hope is recognizing that every day above ground is far better than any below it.

p.s. Thanks anyway but I've already gotten offers to test the cues if I'm not up to it.
 
You've been through this before, more than anyone should have to endure. I helped my wife through hers and as you well know you cannot skimp. She had her professional therapy and that which she had to do everyday. She is not home so that I confirm but I seem to recall that it took about 7-9 months. She came out the other end stronger than ever and I hope you do as well.

Patience and strength to you.

I am a old guy and shattered my scapula last August. I am OK now, took 8 months of physical therapy on a daily basis.
The PT guy told me that if I was 16 he could have the shoulder moving again in 2 weeks, he said at my age, try 8 months. He said our body makes enzymes that naturally help break down scare tissue around the joint that forms after injury or surgery. It develops from lack of movement. At about age 35, out body slows down production of those enzymes and we make less and less as we age. End of story, do the therapy daily, and you should be OK. Don't do it, forget moving your arm normally every again.
Good Luck!!! you will make it, you are a pool player !!
 
I wish you a speedy recovery Matt keep your head up you'll be threw it before
you no it.
 
New cue .... Gives you something to look forward to. You'll get there.
 
Hang in there. You can do it.
Check that. Hanging would make your shoulder hurt.
Just do it. :smile:
