Dittoes to all the well wishes for your recovery. I was off work for three months after a cycling accident, and sought after ways to fill my time, including becoming devoted to such TV shows as “The Andy Griffith Show,” and “Perry Mason,” old and new series; setting up an Excel spreadsheet to catalogue all the senders and messages in my get-well cards; and posting (with physical effort) to BikeForums.

+10 for https://www.crazyguyonabike.com/]. There’s never enough time to thoroughly read such interesting trip reports, especially for me having done a memorable cross country ride. Furthermore, it may be beneficial with your shoulder issue, that you don’t need to turn pages.
