Default Surgery tomorrow

It sucks getting older.
I am going to get a shoulder job done tomorrow morning. A "Bankhart repair" which will fix my shoulder socket so that it will quit dislocating and a "distal claviculectomy" which is also called "acromioclavicular resection" because the end of my collar bone is arthritic and impinging on everything in there. Search those terms (I have) and you will come up with too much information.
Three hour arthroscopic operation which I can go home from. They tell me that PT will start within two weeks, a lot sooner than when I had my rotator cuff repair. I don't look forward to the operation but I am ready to be able to use my arm to it's fullest again. The clinic and doctor I go to are very good so I am not worried about the outcome.
I have not weight trained in many years but I think it may have contributed to the arthritis. The dislocation is just repeated injury that never healed right.
I don't know if they will allow me to smoke cigars while I am healing. If it will slow the healing then I will have no problem abstaining. But I will have lots of free time to kill.
Wish me luck.
