Man I know the journey is going to suck but I hope it works out well in the end.

Is this going to affect work? I mean, you have a lot of time standing in surgery, no?

Not my bailiwick, but is there a way to work sitting on a stool?

@LuFins-Dad I’ve been given four weeks off. Btw I have no pain standing so maybe I could operate but not sure limping into the OR is going to exhibit confidence to patient and staff.
Besides I really should rest for now. Transferred a few urgent cases to colleagues. The others can wait until I’m better.

Damn, Bach, sorry to hear. Maybe pick up a guitar or a book or three while you're taking it easy?

The worst part is @bachophile is going to post more here now!

Kidding, of course. And sorry to hear, of course. It's funny you mention the running thing. Between 2007 and 2017 I did like 8 marathons, a couple triathlons, and a bunch of half marathons, and I remember my last race (the NYC marathon), I got back to my wife's uncle's condo, clearly my legs are shot and I'm hobbling around, and the first thing he says, not in a mean way, was... "this is why I don't run, I want to use my knees when I'm older". That has stayed with me. I still run a bit, but have tried to shift into biking and would love to eventually get into rowing (or just swimming) when I have more time.

I don’t regret the running. It certainly kept me aerobically healthy. And I had nice hours with my thoughts or with various music play lists. But it’s sad that I know there are things I won’t ever do again. Besides run. I won’t ski. I won’t play professional ice hockey. I won’t work in cirque de soleil. All gone with the wind.

Speaking of gone with the wind, you won’t play Rhett Butler in the remake either. No way you could take those stairs two at a time carrying that woman.
But I understand your point. I have some permanent limitations with my shoulder due to a torn rotator cuff.
When you shake someone's deep sense of self-worth, leaving a scar in their ego, they will persistently try to diminish you through petty arguments & obsessive captious criticism of your actions, just to soothe the wound.

Let me tell you about shoulder replacements...

My wife worked for a doc who was a world class tennis player. After he had both knees replaced, he took up golf. It became a very expensive hobby, due to mangled golf clubs.
That lead him into swimming. He's still going strong in the pool at 87. It keeps him in great shape for his age.
