Thanks to everyone for their thoughts.
I am home, successful procedure for rotator cuff and also reattached ruptured bicep tendon that was over 4 years ago damage which is very hard to do.
6 weeks in sling, 4-6 month total to get range of motion and safe use without risk of damage at full strength.
Our van got all back together after doing the frame mod for more caster, but needs to be aligned by me in the spring to determine if it needs camber bushings into the upper A arms. That all will have to wait, Bummer as I really want to see if handling changes much.
Dick Till has already gone through this as have others on the forum so not alone for sure. Heavy DIY is likely the cause as you wind up lifting you probably should not and we do it repeatedly.
thanks to all again!
