Missing shoulders

What's the most annoying thing about having a sore shoulder? I have been pondering this point for a while now. There are plenty of candidates. For example, I have learned that these simple operations rely on the unimpaired use of a shoulder (in no particular order):

1) changing gears
2) showering
3) hanging out washing
4) rolling over
5) washing dishes
6) chopping vegetables
7) peeling vegetables
8) retrieving vegetables from the fridge
9) watering vegetables
10) catching vegtables when they roll off the kitchen bench
11) cooking vegetables
12) puting dishes away
13) getting into a car
14) getting out of a car
15) retrieving children's bags from the back seat
16) playing guitar
17) playing mandolin
18) leaning forward with elbows on knees
19) typing
20) getting dressed
21) getting undressed
22) ... well, you get the idea.

The physio says I will be uncapacitated for at least two weeks. The swelling has now gone down and a large purple bruise has formed on my bicep. Lovely!

At least I'm getting lots of ... delicate ... things done. I really ought to be recording guitar parts ...
