Ah, the joys of wearing a sling almost all day,

especially in summer.  

This kind of sling both holds your arm, it uses a second strap to hold a foam block between your arm and your side to help isolate it, and make it VERY obvious to you if you try to  use it when you shouldn't.

And it's hot outside.  And not fun to sleep with it on.  But the doc and the PTs insist.  Especially since there was a relatively long wait between "This is what's wrong, and you need surgery" and being able to do  it, and that meant a bit more work for the surgeon, thus longer healing time.

It is improving, and yes, I'm doing the exercises I can at home, so we're moving along.  But damn, that doesn't change that I'm tired of this.

Yes, my first thought was 'Hey, one more plus for getting laid!', but no, that's not the stimulation they speak of.
