Sotomayor to undergo shoulder-replacement surgery

The Supreme Court on Monday announced Justice Sonia Sotomayor will undergo shoulder-replacement surgery.

Sotomayor, 63, injured her shoulder when she fell at her home earlier this month.

The court's public information office said in a press release that "tests revealed she suffered a multipart displaced head splitting fracture of her proximal humerus," and that further consultation with specialists indicated surgery was needed. The court said she will undergo reverse total shoulder replacement on Tuesday morning and will curtail activities for the next few weeks while she recuperates.

“She will wear a sling for several weeks and will undergo physical therapy for several months,” the Supreme Court said. “She is expected to recover full mobility and shoulder function.”

Age 63 is a bit young to be falling at home. But she is diabetic. She probably passed out. She ought to consider retiring immediately because she might not last another three years.

I broke the ball of my shoulder about 20 years ago. It was a clean break and I have two philips screws in my shoulder to show for it. Without a doubt, the worst pain in my life. She is in for a tough recovery.

The article says she has Type-1 Diabetes (early childhood, typically) not Type-2 (typically obese related).

I know that. Being fat is a health risk for everyone, especially those already compromised with type 1. And fat type 1s are at risk for ALSO getting type 2.

What the self proclaimed “wise latina” needs is brain replacement surgery. Just get a dog or a chimpanzee as a donor either would be a big improvement

Any chance they could go a little higher with the replacement?

Wasn’t Obamacare supposed to put an end to Medical Abuses like this, where the Bad and Unhealthy habits caused their problem in the first place?

She chose to get Fat
She became diabetic as a result
she fell from her diabetes
she hurt her shoulder from the fall

Why don’t they just sew her mouth shut so she stops eating.

I get the feeling the fracture was caused by her patting herself on the back for all the liberal rulings that she writes.
