Meanwhile: three days until Hannukah starts and for once I actually have the presents all bought. (The kid, sternly, last week: "Have you bought the presents yet? All of them?") I don't have the house cleaned up; but I do have a really good excuse, that I am broken.
Did my first PT session this morning. The PT woman told me not to lift. How can I clean house if I can't lift? I ask you!
Also my shoulder guy -- or rather his nurse -- is getting stiff about the amount of drugs I am getting through. Apparently I am eating too many pain drugs. They have no idea how many pain drugs I would like to eat: that is all.

Some non-drug help with the pain can be to use gentle heat. My wife used the "Bed Buddy" wrap. It is like a sock filled with a granule that looks like rice. It is heated in a microwave for a minute or two. That wrapped around the joint helped her bear through her suffering.
You have my best wishes.
I'm using a heating pad, and also an ice bag. Haven't tried one of those bed buddies yet, though I've looked at them. Thanks for the tip!
I say use the fucking drugs. If you hurt, by god take the meds.
