    Standard Shoulder Replacement Beachy in recovery

    @beachy Great update. It's so nice when things go better than expected. I found this surgery far more easier than my recent TKR. May 6th will be 4 months for me from TKR. Again so glad that you are feeling good and this recovery is better than the TKR.
