..thanks for asking.
It's certainly not now getting any worse! I think the shoulder is at the start of getting better (I still don't think it's anything but soft-tissue/ligament injury, probably around the rotator cuff - and given I've retained full articulation, I'm not going to go and sit in A&E for 48 hours to find out!).
New bruises have stopped appearing, but the most debilitating stuff is the various large areas of deep gravel-rash. I've managed to get them pretty clean, but being deep they're going to take some healing. They are, rather naturally, in all the areas that "touch" surfaces, so relaxing is not the easiest, either sitting or in bed, and the bath is "interesting". Even with non-stick absorbent dressings, they "weep" enough to make things quite unpleasant.
A measure of the improvement is that I have to do a 350 mile round trip in the 'van on Tuesday for it's annual warranty check, and I'm now less worried about driving it than the weather forecast!
(I've just been to fill it up for the journey, no problems at all driving, other than being unable to rest my left arm on the armrest, and I bounced the £99 pump limit before it was full (and it was over !14 full already). I think that probably hurt more than the other downsides of this week. ;-) )
