It looks like you are getting some great support and advice here for the medical end and rehab. I agree that it is helpful to start slow, work up incrementally, and be patient. If the trip of your dreams isn't feasible this summer, dream up a better trip.
For gear, you could consider a fanny pack, like you said. For dayhikes, a [Mountainsmith Daylight] (https://www.amazon.com/Mountainsmith-Daylight-Lumbar-Pack/dp/B01JAEXEVS) is really excellent. It has a shoulder strap that you can use while it's being worn as a fanny pack, and putting that over your good shoulder will likely work pretty well. It appears to be discontinued, so if you want one, get it now.
If you are looking for overnight, the [Mountainsmith Day] (https://mountainsmith.com/day.html) is a bit bigger and more robust. You need truly minimalist gear for this approach, but it's not impossible. Glen van Peski did a trip [using only a fanny pack for all of his gear.] (https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/comments/5xz2g1/fanny_packing_the_sierras_with_glen_van_peski/) He added the ["Strapettes"] (https://mountainsmith.com/strapettes.html) which may not be appropriate for your shoulder, but it does show what is possible with a fanny pack.
The included single shoulder strap will work, but the Strapettes are more effective for transferring some weight. You might consider just taking the one Strapette that goes over your good shoulder, or perhaps adjusting them so that your bad shoulder does not bear any weight.
I suspect that the key to your success will be a ruthless fanaticism toward getting your BPW into genuinely SUL range.
This is the perfect forum to get inspiration for a SUL gear list. Here's a recent thread on ["Sub Seven" Lighterpacks,] (https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/comments/6ip8kl/lets_see_your_sub7lb_pack_list/) and it's inspiring.
Also, look into the [ME-2, a backpack with no shoulder straps.] (http://www.me-2packs.com/) It was designed by a woman recovering from injury.
