Well that sucks, gone a couple days, get back and find out you guys are hurting yerselves worse than I've been doing. Doc told me since I've got most of the motion back, I probably just strained something in my rotator cuff last winter. Hurt something awful when I did it, but the pain pretty much went away in a couple hours, except when I tried to touch my hair, put clothes on, use tools, lift anything bigger'n a bowl of chili... So I know that's gotta be a misery for you, KR, sorry to hear it.
Hagger, never got hurt that way in an arm, but had a complete rupture/tear in an Achilles' tendon, that one took over a year to walk without limping, and several years to get as much feeling in my foot as I ever got back. Hopefully you'll recover faster than that.
