@lakelady I will say, I was very self-sufficient. I did one-handed weed whacking 2 days later. The hardest part was typing one handed. Having someone to chance ice and get me meds was nice but not essential. After 4 weeks, I was still in the sling for 8 weeks but after 4 weeks, I’d work at my laptop with the sling off for 8 hours a day and it wasn’t an issue. But I think your surgery will be more serious than mine.
