They never told me that. That would suck! Damn thing is a pita.
Don't jack around with not wearing that sling. I have too many friends that went without the sling and at their next check up the surgeon told them that they had just undone everything he had fixed in the surgery. My sister had this surgery and they actually gave her an ice machine to help with the swelling.

I WISH! I only rent. If I owned--without a doubt. I can't afford a portable unit either. Too busy buying replacement motors!!
I rent as well but I have a generator I keep out back so when the power goes out I can run the fridge and freezer and tv, etc it's a commercial honda I paid $180 bucks for (used)10-15 years ago, comes in handy about once or twice a year. the power company is now doing these blackouts during fire season we haven't been hit yet but they could shut down 2-3days if they determine a hazard

Agree. No joke. A friend of mine had this surgery about a year ago. IIRC, sling wear was 6 weeks...! Have to wear it or you’ll tear it all up again!

I’ve had terrible shoulders for like 20 years. Not sure if it’s my rotator, but if I pull my shoulders together (like hands together) with any amount of force I’m screwed for about a week. I get so much pain I can’t lift my arm and it’s basically useless for days. As well the pain shoots down to my fingers. Just don’t want to go through that surgery.. But I better do it sooner than later. [emoji107][emoji3525]

Going to ship the ones I bought from @Rocket Man as my cores, and I really thought I’d be getting a bracket with this one. About 75% of the reason I didn’t just use the ones I bought from Mark. Dammit Jim!

Hopefully I can get one soon. Do you just run extension cords?

Don't screw around Sam. You only have 1 body, gotta take care of yourself buddy--especially if you have medical! Take advantage of it.

The ones I sold you had brackets! Those look like they do too...turn those to the side and take a pic. Here’s a front one with bracket. The 2 large holes are where the bolts go into the hub.
