In my late 30s, I had rotator cuff surgery on both shoulders. I've found, as you have, that making life a little easier is a damn good idea. My suggestion is a two wheel harbor freight dolly, and go get the wheels that dont require air. The pneumatic ones are always flat.

Use it very often, whether it is a full garbage can out to the road, or an automatic transmission, set of tires, cylinder heads, blocks, etc. I modified mine with a 16" square board bolted to the bottom for hauling wheels and stuff, and two little fenders welded on so you can put an automatic transmission on it without it interfering with the wheels. As a swap meet vendor occasionally, it has made the difference on more than one sale, if they can borrow it to haul the stuff to their car. I have them leave their wallet or drivers license. A trust thing, you know.
