In terms of recovering, back to the point where the usual excessive amounts of fun can be had, Andrea's shoulder kept dislocating, even when she sneezed. That was painful. One operation, physio and lots of hard work, shoulder is sorted enough that she's now doing flying trapeze:

And what's holding her back at that, holding us both back, is not shoulders, but the bruises on toes, backs of legs and arses, from getting the backswing wrong and smacking into the platform that we took off from.

So you'll be right as rain, soon enough, and can go back to hurting yourself in less permanent ways.
