shoulder replacing?

so much time has passed and nothing much has changed ... the house is still not very tidy and my mind is a mess still too
And that despite the fact that I have had some psycho therapy but that wouldn't solve the pain from the arthritis. So today I have thrown my heart over the fence and  agreed to have my right shoulder joint replaced. hmmm ... not sure how we can survive with out me being to drive and without me being able to cook etc. and that for six weeks .. at least ... oh dear I am dreading it
