I'm starting to really understand why so many old people go south for winters. It's not as much a luxury, as a necessity, I'm starting to think! :fire:

How long is the recovery time for shoulder replacemen?

Over a year, but the first 3-4 months will be hell. I went through it with a rotator cuff....that was hell too, and was close to 2 years before I was pain free again. That left shoulder is starting to hurt again too, because I use it so much now. So I do have to get this done.
 
just got back in my house last night, we got about 3 inches of wet heavy snow early monday morning, and it took down a ton of trees and branches, caused over 25K people to lose power. they just got to us yesterday morning, still about 10K people with no power, mostly people who live out in the country. they're still clearing downed trees off the back roads, the electric repair crews can't even get back there till the trees are cleaned up.
we got a motel room just up the road, so it wasn't really a hardship, but its no fun to sit in a motel room staring at the tv for 4 days.
we went to Knoxville and bought a generator thursday, because not a single one was available in this county...then they fixed our power....oh well, we'll have it for next time.
i set all my veg plants out in the living room, so they could get some light and not start to flower, doesn't seem like it did much damage to anything, the last two plants i put into flower stretched a good bit, but they still fit under the lights...

If I was wealthy, I’d definitely winter somewhere warm.

:( I had no idea it was so long. Could you stay idle for that long?

I didn’t even attempt to go to the off leash park this morning. He’s a bigger wuss about the cold than I am. Do your guys handle it very well?

Tango will ask to be picked up for a few blocks, but she does wiggle down and go back to walking after a bit. And she chases ice chips that I kick, super cute. The big one doesn't care at all, unless you try to stop him from eating snow... loves ice cubes and snow.

We have nothing on the horizon for a week possibly 2. We can't afford to have the rain and snow stop now. They will have to start crossing salmon with walking catfish.

I have a fresh 4" on top of some soft ice crap snow. Usually get a January thaw......that should be soon. Then after that the storm machine turns on........February - March is usually when the big ones come through. I hope.......some years it doesn't turn on.

You have no choice. The hardest part is sleeping. A lot of people sleep in recliners after shoulder surgery, but I bought one on those huge wedges last time and was able to sleep in my bed.

This time it'll be my right shoulder so it will be even more awkward for the first several months. Hopefully I can schedule it for warm weather so i won't need many clothes, because dressing is a bitch with one arm. And last time I had someone move in to help me out with snow removal, etc. , but that probably won't be an option this time.
