Glad to see you are starting the road to recovery and they were able to fix your shoulder.
If you need some motivation and inspiration fishing watch KY Afield(nations longest running outdoors show) with host Tim Farmer. He lost the use of his right arm in the 80's and he continues to be an excellent hunter/fisherman. He does a great job on the show and I try to catch it every week.
The show comes on Saturdays around 1030 or 11am on Npt2.
