I had rotator cuff surgery to relieve impingement in both shoulders. Since it's not really a structural repair it didn't take too long to be able again. Total recovery to where you don't feel the truama of surgery anymore takes about a year. If you are just doing what I had you could be back on the water sometime this summer, though there will still be soreness.
Good luck.

I want to thank everyone that responded to my question. You guys made it an easy decision if I needed a tower. It was a lot harder deciding which one. I am 99% sold on the Sampson Edge with the swivel rack. I like the idea of a custom fit. Does anyone know if it will interfere with the stock Biminis top? I'm in the New York area about 60 miles from the City. I have a shop with 35' ceilings, sheet metal tools, and a 14' high door garage door if anyone in the area needs a place to work on their boat. I'm having Rotator cuff surgery on Monday and figure on using my new foil in June. Seems like it should be pretty easy to install the tower but if there is anyone in the area that installs I would be interested. Thanks again. Steve
