Mark: I went through this, started on July 10 th, it was to be a simple scope, but turned into a nightmare, after 6 hours of surgurey, they finally got done, the damage was so bad that they almost called it off, and was leaning towards a total shoulder replacement. I guess being a college jock, I paid the price, but then I developed, septis, then to MRSP, shoulder constant draining, then to sleep derpervation, finally hospitalized, pain took over,I lost my ability to think clearly, dropped almost 30 pds, was in a hellva mess, was told to put things in order, that's why I was selling things, outlook was not good for recovery. I was blessed with a wonderful wife, and my conviction to the Lord, I made it, after 4 months of hell, I think I am on the road to beating it. It was hard, depressed, and thinking what else could go wrong, I understand you position very well, rethink attitude, your notes are valuable to the list, if ever I can be of help, let me know, I have faced the grim reaper, and so far have won May God Bless you on your struggle.
