On the shoulder situation,

I'm still wearing a sling, for at least three more weeks; partly support, partly to keep people from bumping into me*, and partly to remind me not to use it for anything strenuous no matter how good an idea it seems.

It's now PT three times a week.  The basic stuff is no problem, then it moves to "You sit/lay here while I move and manipulate your arm/shoulder", which is fine except for the moment you say "That's far ENOUGH for now!" and they pause at that level and keep working it.

Yes, it is improving.  No, not enough to mow myself, or load magazines, or a number of other things.  Like you discovering "I'd love to clean more of the garage/living room/workroom, but I actually need BOTH DAMN HANDS to do this!"  And very little cooking, because the cooking may be fine but the cleanup...

So life continues.
