Talk to your Orthopedist and get your butt referred to a physical therapist ASAP. Like it or not, your shoulder isn't going to be the same as it used to be. How well it heals depends in part, by how aggressively you rehab it and how well you remember to be a little careful with it in the future. Scapular and rib fractures hurt. Lots of fracture surfaces to remind you that breathing and wiping your butt are a luxury.
PS- what kind/ brand of helmet came off? Not busting your eggs at all, just interested in the details. We all make choices when we ride, and I'm the first to ride in a T shirt on typically hot OK summer days.
