If he's a good sports med surgeon and he said you need a total shoulder then the cartilage that you can shave with the arthroscopy tools is mostly gone and you are bone on bone, hence the pain. Sometimes they do totals. Call and ask. Their bedside manner has zero to do with surgical ability. Usually the less conversant ones are better surgeons, but that's my bias.
He did say the cartilage was gone and it is bone on bone, so I guess I know the answer to my previous question :( . I sent him an email asking if he does totals. I'm betting no but he'll refer me to someone else. This is the place that did my (defective) hips though so I am not really feeling good about them!

Here's the guy who did my left shoulder about 6 years ago...he looks about 15, lol, and he's the one who diagnosed my right shoulder

Small pipes always get me coughing, too. I figured it was me, since joints are fine. Huh. What material is your pipe?

And sure, you can come over, but my dogs will drool on you.
It's an aluminium spoon pipe. I like it cause it has a little cover to keep things from spilling out, but it's like smoking fire.


Dogs? I hate dogs!

the GR lived for 17 yrs, RH 9 due to bone cancer and this boy is on his way out (diplasia, auto-immune disorders due to GS inbreeding)

EDIT: whenSAL was a puppy I wanted to get him health ins. Trupanion quoted me $800/month!!!!!!!! and that was before anything showed up Auto-immune wise
My last 3 dogs were German Shepherds...The last 2, from the same breeder, both died from bloat at age 4, and my 1st shepherd had hip dysplasia and I put him down at about 7-8. I love the breed but they have many issues. Smart as can be though!! My last girl was my best, but broke my heart

Get away from aluminum pipes. Aluminum conducts heat really well.....hot smoke, fingers and lips. :spew:

Yeah they are hella smart in a very endearing fashion. Even now he'll scoot his food and water bowls out of his way so he doesn't spill them when trying to stand up, but not in a "poor me" fashion, just matter of factly.
