What i was wondering...when you were a full go on lifting heavy again, how long did it take before you "felt strong" like before?

Also, from what you know of his injury, how similar/dissimilar were the procedures?

As I touched on earlier, building the muscle back was the easy part.  The deep healing that which allowed me to "feel" strong and have full confidence in the shoulder, is what took longer to achieve.  Being able to move weight through controlled movements is one thing, but not being cautious so as to not get a shocking sensation, similar to what I would call an electric "jolt", is another.

I likely had more work done to mine than Jonah, simply because I had a lifetime of damages and scar tissue from continuing to live with those injuries for years.  The worst was a full thickness tear in the rotator cuff, about 5 cm long.  Also had a torn labrum, suprispinitis was completely severed, biceps tendon was detached.  Also much "clean up" of bone spurs, scar tissue, etc.

If his tear was a minor one, and combined with the quicker healing of youth, he could possibly be available near the end of the season.  But, unless they absolutely need to press him into service, why chance ruining the repair or his confidence in the healing shoulder?
