Today I get to talk to the orthopedic surgeon, and - presumably - find out if surgery is in my future, and, if so, what kind. I am guessing 20% chance none (not counting the rotator cuff tear, which might not get repaired)), 65% chance pins for the fragments, 10% upper humerus replacement, and 5% more than that. The first is so high because I've started to get a very limited amount of mobility back (almost no lifting strength, though), and the second is highest because it makes sense. Plus these are surgeons, and you know what surgeons like to do.
I'm a little apprehensive.

I'm interested to hear what the surgeon has to say, so would you please let us know too?
