if you see this and have had, or know someone who has had shoulder replacement surgery I'd like to talk with you. Looks like I'm going to be doing this in June and am interested in how you/they planned for it and how you/they managed with being in a sling for six weeks. I'm thinking of a bunch of things to prep but you may have ideas I haven't thought of. #ShoulderSurgery #SurgeryPrep #SurgeryRecovery #JointReplacement
