I know they work miracles with hip and knee replacements, but the shoulder is a much more complicated joint. Hope it all works out for the best for you. Gotta be better than how it is now!

I have it on good authority that shoulder surgery attracts bears.

I had left hand surgery last week . When I had the same surgery on my right hand it took 3 months before I could ride.
I think you will be ok by riding season Loren.

I had a lesser surgery (reattachment of a tendon) that took all of 6 mos to fully recover. But I was carefully riding a small d/s after about 4 mos. The handlebar therapy felt good, so make sure the Cushman Eagle is ready. But I predict that for the XII, you'll miss the first of riding season as you work into confidence with your shoulder. You're not gonna want to fall on it.

Are you going for a Category 2 lift arm, or do you just need the ball?

In the accounts I've heard, the bears are just wishing you well ... and asking for a shot at the cod scraps in the kitchen garbage.

Sounds like a Category 2 lift arm to me. 40-100 HP.

Yes,,Nails,I will probably be on the Cushman before the VXII as it is 400lbs lighter and has been reliable enough to put over 400 miles on it last year :thmup:
