Due to shoulder injury, recent surgery, I have only flown my 6A around 15 hrs this past year, insp due in July. Hate to have to do it with such little time on her. Is there any kind of waver or some legal way to pass on it that any one knows of? Tnx, Charlie Heathco

The short answer is no.

The long answer is: "There is NO way."

If you don't fly it, you can wait as long as you want.  Â
I'm only half kidding; if you aren't going to fly it for another month (or year), you can legally wait until you're almost ready to fly again to do the inspection. Is this a money issue, or will you be doing the inspection yourself (repairman's cert)? If you're doing it yourself, it really isn't that big a deal to do an inspection on most RV's. Assuming no issues, I can do mine in less than a day, and I have to coordinate with an A&P friend to actually sign the logbook (purchased the plane so I don't have a repairman's cert).
I don't know of any way to legally keep flying without a logbook entry showing an inspection within the past year.

You already have a bunch of good answers.
Does not matter how few hours it has flown, the requirement is there to
do, and plane can not fly after Aug. 1 without the condition inspection
done. While you have to inspect the items in Part 43 Appendix D, you do
not have to do any maintenance beyond the lubrication needed when you
inspect things like wheel bearings and oil screens.
As one other noted, you can wait to do the inspection until you have
been medically released to fly. If that happens to be a little cooler
weather than the middle of the summer, all the better. And remember,
electric screw drivers with good torque control are your friend. Not to
mention having a trusted friend or two help you with the labor.

All the answers pretty much cover your situation. I had an unfortunate encounter with both NTSB and FAA years ago but one good thing came of it. In discussions with the FAA guy from FSDO 15 (Orlando FL) who was checking my logbooks .... which had condition inspections scattered throughout the year. I correct all squawks as they occur and am 'inspecting' many times a year. He said that as long as I covered all the inspection items throughout the year I could pick a month in which to make my logbook entry. However, you have to have the repairman certificate which allows YOU to do the inspection. I've been doing my inspections that way ever since.
Most all of us flying homebuilts correct squawks as they occur instead of deferring them to 'annual time' like the factory-built guys so if you have the repairman certificate you may have this option.
Also, if you have the repairman certificate, then you can enlist the help of a good friend (along with a case of beer ) to make the plane 'inspectable' and then you can take a look at it.
Unless you wish to have someone fly it while you're grounded, there's always the option (mentioned already .... ) to defer the inspection until you can do it yourself.

Charlie's last paragraph is the correct response.
