Concerned wife:

I am glad that the two of you are making progress.

My right shoulder reacted to the orthopedic doc's test as a torn rotator cuff. The x-ray did not show much damage. After an arthoscopic operation I could no longer throw overhand right handed. (Never could throw left handed) Six weeks after the operation my left shoulder was hurting. I assume that I was sleeping the wrong way both before (Right shoulder) and after the surgery (Left shoulder). I have a much lower RDI on my sides than on my back. I do not know whether or not my experience can be transferred to your spouse.

If I have repeated myself, blame it on old age loss of memory.
