Glad to hear you are doing well. By now, they must have you doing laps around the corridors. Dont' let there be too much drag on your shoulder. Support it with other arm if walking or a pillow when sitting until neck gets some time to heal. Rumor has it you will get sprung on Friday. It will be good to get home.
Take care,
Eileen
