Shoulder ouch

So this morning my doctor told me I most likely have a torn rotator cuff and need to ice, rest, medicate, etc my left shoulder. All this due to very unexciting injury at work caused by transferring of a patient. Fine whatever. Coming to realize, however, that resting a shoulder is harder than it may seem. Particularly when shitty car has no power steering and wheel must be cranked to go anywhere. Also problematic because of my amazing ability to find and slip on any and all invisible ice slicks that lie between myself and where I am trying to go. This evening I was saved from FOOSH wrist fracture only by heavy kitty litter I was carrying (in uninjured arm) somehow yanking me back from unbalance state. Still fell and was covered with snow, but landed on soft grass as opposed to concrete sidewalk. Was embarrassed since I'm pretty sure my upstairs neighbours saw me fall out their window. Although...shouldn't they feel obligated to even poke a head out the door and make sure I'm ok? So embarrased, but also a little bitter.
