Just got up from a nap... at work. Needed that 20 minutes. Rotator cuff is getting looked at tomorrow. It's been preventing me from sleeping through the night. 
One of the guys I work with just had rotator cuff surgery. He said it wasn't that bad... There was a fair amount of initial discomfort and pain but he said it went away pretty quick. I was doing well about two weeks post op and was supposed to make a full recovery after about six weeks.

Cool. I'm hoping they'll just have me do therapy and say it's just underused/overused. I do not want to have any procedure during the driving campaign, however, sleep is important.
He is about your age, too, Skip. Maybe just a couple years younger. He has four kids and he is a volunteer fire fighter for Purcellville, Virginia. I think his oldest is 18 but I know he had him when he was really quite young. His oldest daughter is in middle school and their twins are barely out of diapers.
I guess my point is don't be afraid of the surgery. I really didn't seem like it was all that bad.

I just found the mother of all "why are people crashing their Toyotas?" thread. There is not enough 
in this world to go along with how I feel about the opinions in there.

I'm not him so I cannot say what he was feeling all I know is that he wasn't cowering in pain or anything like that. I was miserable and he went about his day.
