Pt hurts many times, but if you don't keep up with the exercises, it can get worse. I know; my husband has a bad shoulder, and they want to do a reverse shoulder surgery once his knee surgery therapy is over and he is strong enough.
Decluttering is an ongoing process at our ages. I'm right there with you; I did finally get some areas of my garden shed done for the season. Then I took your direction and started on my garage. Oh my! Why do we save so much stuff? lol
Surgery is what I am looking to avoid. It is not bad enough for it right now. Keeping fingers crossed all goes well with your husbands recovery and future surgery.
Think we save it becuase we want to be prepared if its needed again. Don't want to spend money on it again. If broken, we think we will fix it later. Who knows. I did all those. :)
