I have been enjoying the B2B course and have been progressing well on a steady diet of Josh’s courses. A Big Thank You to Josh! I started on 12/11/25 and as of today I am 1/2 way through the course, Module 9 just popped up. However, next Thursday 1/8/26 am having my left shoulder rebuilt, surgery left Rotator cuff. This is going to put a small speed bump in the road. My golf game and my bass playing are going to have to get put on the shelf for a while. I will be back stronger than before, but this is going to halt the two things I like doing most, Golf and Bass. As Arnold said, “I’ll be back”!
I asked the same question a couple months ago HERE.
Some good feedback from members in this forum… I am sure they can pipe in again.
I empathize with you and wish you the best. Bass aside- do what the doctors and physical therapist tell you. This is (was) my second surgery on the R-side, I had both done about 20 years ago. I cam through the most recent one OK. Not much pain during recovery, I kept up with the “pain management” by keeping ahead of it before the chance of any onset. I am in a fortunate position of being able to take off for a month from work. I had no pressure and could really recouperate as well as relax… it was a vacation of sorts.
Member @Wombat-metal recommended the D’Addario VariGrip. I bought it and also got a a Fiddilink thingy… both of these really kept somewhat of a finger focus.
You state procedure on the left shoulder… are you a righty bass player? If so, the exercise tools will help your plucking hand dexterity. I am now using those devices for both hands now.
Wishing you the best on the procedure and recovery!
Just guessing from your username handle… you must be a skier having had that procedure done previously… and you are a skier down the hill from me in Denvertown???
ACL = my initials, 5280 = I live in Broomfield CO. Skier in my younger life, yes, but not anymore. I’m 68 years young now. Golf is an has been my focus for quite a while now. Bass lately too. I have a Trackman Golf Simulator in my home. I practice golf 2 hours a day, everyday. I know… Nuts, right? I’ll be back I know that, same doctor did my right shoulder a few years ago. I’m right handed. Thank you for the well wishes!
