Hi Susie! I seen your post to Cathe about shoulder substitutions! I just wanted to make some suggestions to you! (of course show these moves to your dr for approval first ) Also are you doing physical therapy?(curious)Are you doing certain videos now?I recommend(when you get to this point) Karen Voights Great weighted workout(light weights small effective moves to work the shoulders well, just when she goes up , you'll improvise and go forward or outward with a high bicep move)
for shoulders- I recommend doing tubing for now then go onto resistance machine(seated rear delt machine),then light weights(3,5)build your way up!Do uprights rows,front raises,side raises and rear delt raises, shoulder rotations(perfect lil combo with the tubing and light dumbells) for working the rotator cuffs on your shoulder rotations~~keeping your hands at your side ,begin with your arm bent at 90 degrees at the elbow and slowly rotate outwards!(you can also do this move lying on your side on the floor or bench with your one arm bent at 90 degrees, your upper arm along your side and your forearm down across your chest.) If you experience any discomfort in your shoulder during the exercise, try putting a small pillow under your elbow. It is important while doing this exercise to not raise your upper arm off your body or let it slip forward and down. You should keep your arm at your side at all times. Rolling back while doing the exercise is also a no, no. Keep your body in the same plane throughout the movement.

don't want to see you out of action if you are able to do some light exercises with the drs ok
