Am in a big rehab/physio/massage therapy thing after surgery, part of which is related to rotator cuff. Best wishes. It's a grind.

Thanks for all the well wishes and sorry about the cup/cuff thing but at this point who cares. Thats funny about having my son do these things because normally I do that,but sometimes you feel bad about asking him to do things so you just do them your self. I am an outdoors person and that is why I am getting the operation. I cant wait to start diving again!!!! It sucks getting old! Keith
Absolutely. Kids old enough to dive = tank sherpas for "aged" parents.
Technique and planning are important as well as it will reduce the actual lifiting required and place the majority of the weight on the skeletal structure not the muscles and joints. At 44 that matters as I am not in quite (ok, ok, not nearly) the same physical condition I was in at age 23 in OCS.
But on the other hand at age 23 I would have been impressed by anyone carrying around 130-140 pounds of doubles, plate, can light reels, etc. climibing in and out of rocky sinks with it on and then adding stage and deco bottles to go diving. I do it all the time and don't think twice about it - mostly because my 40 year old girlfriend does it too.

Poor kid! He's really going to be a mule while I'm in a sling. Up to now I have been using my arm a little.

Tank sherpa 
That's why I married a big guy!
Now if only I can convince him to dive as much as I do

Hopefully done only temporarily!
After your surgery, you'll be the 6 million dollar man!
with a little rehab, i'm sure you'll be good to go.
