Oh no! That sounds really painful, I am sorry you're having these physical issues right now when you're still healing from the shoulder injury. I definitely would have your assistant do the washing part now too at least for awhile, I wouldn't be surprised if the shoulder injury is somehow affecting your knee. Hang in there Bizi! Thinking of you!
