Thanks!
I've had two different constraints ... My legs were badly bashed (and a huge gash in the right one), and my right shoulder was broken so it's been in a sling since 14 OCT.
The legs are slowly healing, to the point now where I can walk without a cane and get up and down without too much difficulty. I can walk a short ways again finally, but with care and I tire quickly. The shoulder ... On Friday, I will have a complete reverse-shoulder replacement procedure. That will likely mean being in the sling full time for another two weeks or so, but after that I'll have PT/OT and will be able to get out of the sling more and more as I develop strength and coordination with it once more.
Needless to say, this has been a very dark time. It is with the support and love of family and friends all over that I'm coming through it with some humor. Thank you all for your thoughts and good wishes in advance.
