The doctor says I need a complete left shoulder replacement surgery, but the replacements are only good for 10 to 15 years so he would like me to be 70 before he does it. That's not for 6 more years.

@Musicman Hope you’re not in too much pain. Be a long time to wait if you were.

@OlderSometimesWiser Some days are okay. Others are painful. The doctor said that once I start grinding on the nerve endings he doesn't care how old I am. He will schedule the surgery. Before I have it done though I really need to get the wife healthier first. I can't take care of her and me too.
