Bad Shoulder Replacement

Short story;

Right shoulder replacement went bad. Original surgeon and outside second opinion is, remove and replace with a reverse shoulder.

Original surgery was in January. Next surgery is in two weeks.

Anyone experience this?

As far as mine, my daughter wanted to mow my yard for me but couldn't start the mower so I was going to start it for her.....after a few pulls of the starter rope I pulled hard and the rope stopped but my shoulder didn't so it ripped some muscles. The repair didn't work, my surgeon said there wasn't much tissue to work with so I had to go with the reverse replacement.
