I just had that surgery Dec 28th. My rotator cuff was torn thru. The dr still tells me not to sew so I have been listening to him but you sure make me want to start! I've had my sling off for a week and that was awsome! Physical therapy 3 times a week is the only time I get out much during the week. Thankfully like you, my hubby, stepped up and did all the cooking, laundry and litter box cleaning. We'd shop together on weekends! What a mess this has been. You are an inspiration to me that things will get normal eventually!
