I was watching True Romance last night and James was in it as a fairly young chap. So sad.

I also wasn't a big fan of the article. His approach was that a car is 100% utilitarian, with one purpose - to get you from point A to point B. But a car is more than that. It's an extension of your personality, and the assertion that no one outside of a rancher should own a full size truck was downright laughable.
I'm driving a 2019 Dodge Challenger. Much more ballsy than the Charger I had last week. Looks, feels, sounds, drives, like a muscle car. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
Just went in for another post op FU on the wing. Shoulder healed fine in terms of the X-ray, scar tissue and range of motion still a major concern. The stretching is progressing well in most cases, but there are a couple ranges I’ve had little to no change. I go back in 6 weeks and if things aren’t better they’re recommending an adjustment under anesthesia, which doesn’t sound fun
Needless to say, doc called our conversation today the “come to Jesus visit.”

He's great. Love his interviews, there's some good ones with Conan O'Brien as well. Seems to me what you see is what you get with him. Great back story about him:

Good luck! I think I mentioned this to you or someone else here that shoulders are very tough unfortunately. Two of my co-workers have had surgeries

Thanks a lot! This is great.
He mentions he's reading biographies, Nick Nolte's, i am pretty sure that book is one hell of a ride too.
Is the new charger still a sedan too? I’m a sedan guy myself, but in the Charger it just doesn’t work. The Challenger at least has the look of a muscle car to go with the performance

Gosh, I don't even remember if it was a coupe or a sedan. It was also fun to drive, but not nearly like the Challenger. the Challenger lets you know you've got some ponies under the hood. Charger was a lot more subdued, though it still had some giddy-up. We're not looking to add another car at the moment, and I've driven an SUV of some sort since 2004, but this car makes me seriously consider it.

Yeah I bet whatever Nick could remember to put down that is! Here's a quick interview with Schirripa where he talks about being a casino manager. He's an interesting guy
Took me two years to get back to fully functional after shoulder surgery. Once the stretching is done, strengthening those pesky small muscles holding it in place is really crucial. Good luck!
Thanks, i never had much strength on my left side anyway so my expectations are low going in. I only just started some very light resistance band stretches last week so I have a ways to go. You’re the first to say two years though, all i hear about are the perfect patients that have full range and no pain 2 months post op, and i just don’t see how that’s possible lol i feel so inadequate.
I’ll get there. Eventually.

I have almost universally heard that shoulder surgery is one of the hardest to rehab, and that you shouldn't expect to feel the slightest bit "normal" (What is that for you?) for anywhere from 6-12 months. Full recovery at 2 months is a very unrealistic expectation.
Just keep doing your therapy and don't do anything stupid was the advice of my orthopedic surgeon 25 years ago after I had shoulder surgery and I was having some trouble with range of motion like you are now. He was right too I eventually regained full range of motion, it just took a little longer than I wanted/expected it to take.
You will, probably, get the range of motion back, but not the strength, in 2 months. Heck, I was supposed to be in a sling for 12 weeks, but ditched it after 8. Two years is until I could feel to pain in the shoulder doing all of my normal tasks.

Love her.
Glad she's found her passion again. She had a legit shot at the Olympics but broke her back and was pretty much shunned by her coach and Marta Karolyi

dont sweat the "perfect" timeline.
I'm recovering from shoulder surgery #3 right now. Had a bicep tenodesis done (cut the bicep muscle off the shoulder and screwed it to the arm bone).
I'm 10 weeks out. Only in certain directions do i have full range of motion back. Its still creaky and sore. Just now starting some of the strengthening parts of PT. PT for it is 6 months, full recovery is 12.
Shoulders always take a while to heal and get back to where you were.
My other 2 surgeries were the same way. 6 month PT recovery then I could start getting back all the strength I lost (lost ~20lbs of size each time). All in, its usually 18-24 months to get my strength and size back up to pre injury levels.
Just have to do everything they tell you at PT. Doing the exercises and stretching religiously at home makes a big difference.
