Life changes over the past year

I had rotator cuff surgery a year this past September and I'm not able to lift my arm over about half way. Then I wound with some other problems and it seemed like the rotator cuff was the start of it. Seems like I'm finally on the up side. Being the right shoulder it was real hard for me to type. Hope to be spending a little more time here.

Re: Life changes over the past year

Sorry to hear of your pain and trouble you have been having.

Sounds like you are recovering.

I worked on an assembly line for years and it was rough on my body.

Physical Therapy is good if you are able to do it.

Re: Life changes over the past year

Sorry to hear of your troubles...wishing for your continued up-side track.

FYI: I've started using voice recognition on my smart phone to avoid typing and I gotta say, it's pretty amazing how well this stuff works now.

Click into any text box (like this one on this site when posting a reply or a new thread for example) and it will bring up a keyboard. On the keyboard is a little microphone shaped button. Click that and start talking. Your words will be spelled out as you talk right into that text box. When you are done, click the button again to stop the voice to text translation. BANG...no typing.

EDIT: Do the same thing on a PC

In my experience text to talk is so bad as to be useless. You get a garbled mess that takes just as long to go through & fix as if I just typed it out with one finger anyway.

Re: Life changes over the past year

Ive had a couple of surgeries in the last year, neck and shoulder. Dont over due and follow the prescribed physical therapies. It takes some time but stick with it.

As far as talk to text. Talk slow and enunciate carefully and it works pretty good. Normal every day conversational recording not so much.

sorry to hear about that, but i have a couple questions.
how and what did surgery do?
asking cause i tore my left rotator in 3 spots 8-9 mos ago and the doc says there is not a lot to be done except surgery, which he keeps telling me is a last resort.
he keeps shooting cortisone shots in my shoulder (6 so far) with steroids to try build up the tendons around the tears cause he says it will not heal by itself.
he told me if it doesn't get any better in another 6 or 8 more months then maybe go the surgery route.
and yeah, when it rains it pours. screwed up disc in my back by trying to compensate for being a one handed andy. doc keeps telling me light duties (of which there is no such thing in my line of work) or retirement

Re: Life changes over the past year

I have shoulder problems as well. Slowly building strength back for the last 6 months. Rotator cuff tear, impingement. Back surgery 8 years ago fixed that problem. Getting old ain't for sisseys.
