Man!! You gotta be in some pain,i wish you the best.
 
Good luck to you guys. In the end, you'll be glad you had it done. As the others said, be sure to do your rehab and exercises. It really pays off in the end. I had a hip replaced almost 3 years ago, and life is really good since having it done.
 
Yeah, i was trying to drive truck to make a paycheck and trying to make PT appointments.Tuff trying to do both so i think this will be better to make all the therapy dates.
 
Good luck. Im at the age things are starting to go for me as well. At least if it is your left arm and you are right handed it wont hurt your sex life. Have a speedy recovery.

Hey Roadrunnerman,
I go "under the knife" at 6:00am tomorrow morning. They're going to put titanium pins in to hold everything together where all the damange is. I guess I won't be doing any wrenching in my shop for awhile.:icon_sad:
