It will get much better! I'm 8 months out on my second RC surgery (right side). Had the left RC done 6 years ago. Left side was easier but I always figured it was a full year before I didn't have any pain. Doctor this time he tells his patients 12 to 18 months. First one was done by the doctor, along with another, who wrote the procedure for the repair, second doctor trained under him. With both repairs, I was carrying square hay bales to the animals 3-4 days after surgery -but very carefully. This last repair went so well, the sling was out the window at 4 days after surgery. It caused more pain to wear it than without it. Even in therapy, I was doing at 5-6 weeks that most were doing at 4 months. Try not to do anything that causes pain. First time was due to the work I was doing, lifting 30,000 to 35,000 lbs per day almost every day. Once could throw a 50lb bag of grain 30-35ft. Doc told me that it was over 50% severed. Other shoulder was just getting older and having bone spurs grinding/cutting on the tendon. First repair, the therapist did more harm in recovery by being too agressive - doctor made them lighten up and take their time. Now days, they aren't nearly as aggressive (6yrs later) -seems that the doctors/therapists found things recovered faster by not pushing too hard. I'm no longer a spring chicken at 60 yrs but life still keeps getting better and better. Today, I'm recoverying from having a 5mm kidney stone yanked out! Good thing is, this gives us time to make plans for this summers tractor projects. I'm adding an extra hyd valve to a Farmall 756, repairing a trans leak on my Case VAC-14, repairing some of my hit-n-miss gas engines, and thinking about finnishing a restoration on a 1960 boat with a white 40hp Merc w/tail finns. Glad to hear it's getting better -best of luck. Loren

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
