PT started in Oct. 2021. So we are half a year into trying to get more independence. Using a cane in the house with me holding the weak , left arm is allowing my wife to walk to the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Ambulating a walker on a straight flat sidewalk is possible without support: the left had can hold on to it . After 30 min her left foot is not coming up properly. She needs a break. The risk of a fall his high and someone needs to be close all the time. Getting dressed is a challenge. The frozen shoulder has improved to an extent that getting out or in sweaters does not cause pain anymore. But lifting the left arm is not possible and thus dressing/showering/ bathroom is not possible without support. She now practices daily to pick up little pieces of plastic foam or corks.
The finger movements are limited.
She needs help 24/7 but .. the input we get from rehab physicians is similar to yours . Nerve regeneration takes time.

That must be exhausting for both of you. I'm sure she finds it hard to be so dependent on the help of others as well. Do you have others who give you respite?
