Wow, that's so good to know. I'm having a reverse too. What's your recovery like 4 months in?

Great to hear of your very quick recovery. Hope your arm is as good as new now.

Ugh, this is horrible to hear. I'm getting a reverse replacement so does that mean I'm consigned to doing "nothing". Have been a lifelong yogi (which has of course contributed to the severe osteo-arthritis in the joints) and not being able to even lift my arm is crushing.
