This is the type of sling I will have to wear for about a month.
Yeah, I was thinking about this blog, while I am recovering from my rotator cup surgery. I guess I could post small updates using the left hand, to hunt and peck. I might schedule a couple of posts ahead, in-between the one-armed updates. Then again, I might have no issue whatsoever.
We'll see...
This morning I practiced getting dressed using my left arm. I did it. Took a bit more time but I did it. I even tried to put tops on, by bending over and slipping them on and wiggling myself into them - all one-armed. Hey, it may look funny, but it can be done. I can't wait till the husband installs my bidet attachment on my toilet!
Ooh, La' La'...
Jim Abbott pitched a no hitter for the NY Yankees years ago...he had one arm.
ReplyDeleteHope the recovery is successful and the time is short.
Wow. That is amazing. I do remember that. That’s for the reminder.
DeleteSpeaking of baseball, the San Francisco Giants back in the 90’s had a pitcher blow out his arm while pitching - Dave Dravecky. I remember watching it as it happened and thinking that was probably the most painful thing I’ve ever seen. It turned out he had a cancer. Poor guy ended up having his left arm amputated.
A bidet. I am jealous. Prayers for you to have an easy recovery. I know you will enjoy the new shoulder when it is all over. Take care kiddo.
ReplyDeleteI hope so
DeleteI wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bobbie
DeleteI hope your surgery goes well. I know the difficulty of getting dressed after surgery such as that.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Yeah and while I try to prepare there is no comparison to actually having to do it. Time will tell.
DeleteHoping all goes well with your surgery. Had a friend recently that had that surgery. It does poise some dressing difficulties. I love that you are already practicing. You are a trooper...sure you will do great. Will say a prayer for you.
ReplyDeletePrayers always accepted.
Delete[laughing at the bidet comment] !!!! I've not had rotator cuff surgery but did have a right rib removed when I had Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. I had to learn to type and dress with my left hand. It's kind of made me ambidextrous, which is kinda cool. Just can't sign my name like a Lefty though but there's nothing Lefty about me. [giggle]
ReplyDeleteSending prayers for successful surgeries. I know you'll do very well. God's got this.
Blessings. xx
Ha ha!
DeleteWow a missing rib? Did you have a motorcycle accident?
So far, no wrecks. [knock on wood] This happened after I tripped and fell really hard in the yard. It messed up my entire right side. I'm still suffering from those pains (hip, neck, knee, etc.). Falls sure mess a body up. xx
