Mum's orthopaedic surgeon is not totally happy with the result but said today: "see you in about a year."
Speaking with my sister & brother-in-law (who are visiting for a few days) Mum confided that she was managing the pain a whole lot better than before the stainless steel joint went in. She recognises that there's only extreme pain when she tries to do things that her new shoulder won't let her do.
I'm glad there's been pain relief.
