Hello Wayne - 

CA>> After getting through physcial therapy to recover the use
CA>> of my left arm the orthopedic surgeon said I needed
CA>> surgery on both shoulders but he didn't recommend it
CA>> because I was past the point of _needing_ strong shoulders
CA>> (according to him). I was approximately 50 at the time. I
CA>> didn't agree with his opinion but he said the surgery was
CA>> only successful 75% of the time and 

WC> My orthopedic surgeon said the same thing back in 75 and I
WC> took his advise and skipped it. He did repair a knee
WC> telling me it would still give me some problems. On the
WC> latter point he was wrong as the knee is fine 28 years
WC> later. 

Muscle is what holds us together and supports joints. I think
the physical condition of the patient combined with their
ability to heal after surgery (age?) are all factors in this.
Some heal so fast it's like magic. My father-in-law healed
three times faster than I did and he was in his 70's. My mother
heals faster than I do now. 

At the time of my shoulder injuries I was still in pretty good
shape. I may have made a mistake in turning down the surgery.
