Yup Shoulder is the worst then Knee and then Hips most painful and with the hips possibly the only one that I was able to push harder and heal faster the rest are all a slow go . Not that any of these are a walk in the park .

All the rest are just trauma recovery except coma and all I can say is it kicked my ass and still is ! If I am lifting steady at the 1 year mark I will be happy . Well pain meds kicking my ass and bad so GN all and gota shower and get ready for phone sex with my baby . she is in KY .

GN all . Chat more later , can't hold eyes open and fingers fall asleep on the keys .......... Peace out until later . lol , Just fell outta my chair so time for bed alone and hope I can complete phone adventure
I never would have thought hips are the easier recovery. I have heard that shoulders are a bitch. Not looking forward to that. My right shoulder was messed up for 2 years and now it’s bearable with moderate weight, but still feels weird, like it’s not smooth in there.

You have a good outlook, but I guess you have no choice but to move onward. We can never be reminded enough about sacrifice and perseverance with stories like yours.
