My grandma is 87 years old, only about 5'1" and maybe 90lbs. she isn't very active but she fell and broke her shoulder and wrist last week and since has had to be in a wheelchair. her doctors want to do a shoulder replacement surgery but i am very concerned about her recovery. is this surgery safe for someone her age? What is the recovery like? and what are the statistics on this surgery? if you can't answer all of these questions where can i find the answers?
