Rotator cuff surgery SUCKS. I had it done when I was 38 yrs old and it was, without question, the most painful rehab of any injury I've ever sustained (and I've had a lot). There were times when I started to think I'd never have pain-free mobility of my arm/shoulder again. The biggest limitation after surgery was reaching upward (above my head) and outward. Fortunately, reaching forward (to a degree) was manageable pretty early on. I think after a week or so (if you cheat and remove your immobilizing sling) you'll be able to drive stick without too much difficulty. Just plan on learning to wipe your a$$ with your left hand for a while.

How far apart are you planning to have them done? I'd imagine at least 6-8 months in order to get over 1 before doing the other.
