Hubby had both shoulders MRI'd, then straight off to surgery to fix a tear in the right-side one. None of this asselin' around with Xrays and exercises.

His surgery was on March 21st. He is already using the arm a good bit, is almost through with his physical therapy.

He says the biggest bitch (well, besides me ) is not being able to lay flat for long periods of time. At night he often sits up in the bed to sleep.
