Physical Therapist here. I see shoulder replacements often and they vary in outcomes. Mostly dependent on patient effort and attendance to PT. If she is an active and determined person then she should do fine. She won't get full range of motion back in shoulder but she will still be functional. She will be able to clean, feed, bathe, dress, and do all normal activities. Biggest thing is going to PT like she needs to and working it at home. Hardest part is the first 4-6 weeks because she will be in a brace 23 hours a day to protect shoulder and prevent dislocation. If you have any other questions I'd be happy to answer them!

Wife is looking into going to a conference there next year in October and we are thinking of making a trip out of it. I know it's a long way off but trying to get an idea of it is worth going at all? Is it just totally out of control and not safe or are there pockets to avoid and others that are fine? I know Oregon is a beautiful state but Portland seems to be a shithole. I have done no research so just looking for some opinions. TIA.

Going in a few months and just want some tips on good places to eat for all meals and any good snack spots. TIA :cheers:

We took a look at the Carnivals and damn they are nice. Wife is at the dealership now finalizing the paperwork for one. Didn't think a minivan could be cool but that thing isn't your mom's minivan of old. I feel like I'm in a space ship with all the tech and it spacious as hell.

Wife and I are going look at a 2023 GMC Acadia this week. Has anyone owned one of these? If so, how did you like it and do you think it's enough space for traveling with two kids in car seats that need a stroller? That is the biggest reason for us getting a new car is need for more space. TIA

Crowds should be pretty light the rest of July. As long as the kids can handle the heat I'd say go for it!

1864-Fried scallops and drinks were great
Skinny Legs- great lunch
Colombo's- great coffee and breakfast

In-laws loved rams head and said it is a must do. I also think they really liked the snorkeling at Francis Bay. They said they saw a ton of starfish, rays, fish, turtles, etc. The last time the wife and I went we loved the restaurant 1864. It is a little more pricey but very nice for a more upscale dinner. Loved the fried scallops. Drinks were very good as well. But you really cannot go wrong with where you go or what you do IMO.

Coming from south Louisiana. And open to either flying or driving.
