Re-built rotator cuff on one side which gives me no problems, and reconstructed ligament in my wrist on the other side which still gets sore.

I got more hardware than Ace. Hope the screw don't back out.......

Glad I am not alone! Haha. Funny thing is, I had a compound femur fracture in 2000, titanium rod from hip to knee with all attaching hardware, and it gives me no problems whatsoever. I wonder how big a part the guy doing the surgery plays, because the the fella that did the femur was world class, so I was told. The guy that did the ankle, on the other hand...I still might smack him in the mouth next time I see him...
