Sleep upright (I used a study buddy type pillow along with my regular ones) in the sling for a few weeks.
Move to a recliner for the day.
Get a water cooled sling if you haven’t already (expensive but insurance paid for mine and was a game changer)
Do EVERTYTHING at home the PT tells you to….even the ball on the wall exercise. They suck, but you want to be at 100% in 9 months, not 90 at 12 months and for the rest of your life.
Also, don’t worry about some of the days where you don’t see crazy improvement on the degrees of angle measurement. You’ll get there.
Oh, careful in public….even with a sling/waist strap on, you will quickly realize how many times people come up to you and grab/touch/tap your shoulder…just out of habit
And finally….do EVERYTHING the PT says, I really mean it this time

I loved having my sling on it public. In crowded places people would move out of the way to let me through. I even wore it when I didn’t need to for the added convenience
