    Good to hear that you are healing up. Looking forward to watching your progress with the chalice.

    Had a follow-up visit on my shoulder progress this week. Good news, I am released to do resistance exercises to bring the muscles back to normal strength. The good looking, red headed, lady Doc I had said I can lift weight up to the limit of "comfort". Otherwise I can start actually using my arm again for normal activities that don't over stress the operated on muscles. I am very happy about that. As soon as possible I'm going back in to the shop and resume work on this project. I'll still be very careful not to exceed the "comfort" thing but I'm fairly sure lathe work will be OK.
    Color me happy.

    Thanks all. The recovery part is a rough road to travel. A lot of people have been through the rotator cuff surgery and know what I am saying.
    I was fortunate to learn from the misteaks of others. My son, a doctor, was one of them. He didn't pay attention to his doctor's orders and suffered. He had to be re-repaired twice.
    And, this last trip the nice lady doc I saw did the same thing when she had her rotator surgery. And she is a teaching ortho surgeon specializing in shoulders.
    She admitted her attitude was "I know better". She didn't, we all heal at about the same rate regardless of occupation.
    It was, still is, a depressing experience letting the left arm be useless while others were doing chores I could have normally been doing myself.
    If y'all have this surgery, think of the doctor as your Momma. Do what you are told.

    Great to hear you are getting back to normal. I didn't have the rotator cuff surgery, just bobbed and scraped some bones that were rubbing and still had 8 weeks recovery, released on Dec. 30. Still want to be cautious about over doing it. Like you said, the Doctor is you mother....pay attention. Looking forward to finished pics of your turning project.
