I hear you guys. Have to pick and choose at this point. Doc says I'm too young for the knee replacement yet, even though doc says it's a 75 year old knee in a 57 year old body. (Old skiing injury. Surgery and PT got me another 20 years on it though. Still, not looking forward to the next surgery.) And as for the shoulder, still at the point that resting it helps, so not looking to do anything with it soon.
57 years young, and can still hike a 15 mile trail with a backpack on for a 3 day backwoods weekend. And when I can't, I'll go get something done.
This is the way…I went ambidextrous several years ago. Just use your weak side when it works and your dominant side when you need that range or it’s the money shot.
