I bought an electrical shaver to do my good armpit however hubby says I seem like a contortionist. My hardest problem has been two-fold; 1. getting my britches up on the injured facet 2.
I bought some men’s (couldn’t discover ladies shirts large sufficient to accommodate my arm in a sling) short sleeved button down shirts, however am now able to put on barely oversized ladies cotton T-shirt’s. I love your positive attitude Christine! I can so relate to the washing/shaving of my proper arm pit, struggling to put my bra on and living in sweats and leggings for months.
Eventually a CT scan which confirmed up a dislocated and badly smashed up prime of humerus. Oh my goodness Yvonne, that bruising is spectacular. I was fortunate to have very minimal bruising, aside from the place they blew some veins trying to get the IV positioned at the ER.
As you did, I additionally broke my dominant arm so just about every thing is a challenge however I’ve turn out to be very artistic. Hi Shannon, yes the armpit washing is a problem, however your vary of movement will enhance. I nonetheless need to lean forward within the shower, dangle my bad arm ahead and use a washcloth to wash myself. In the beginning I might only transfer m arm about 2 inches from my aspect. Now it’s only barely higher at about three inches (I think I’m being beneficiant with that!).
I additionally bear in mind how joyful I was after I might lastly brush my enamel and put mascara on with my dominant hand. I laughed so onerous in regards to the washing of the armpit. I use a medicated powder now too there because it is skin on pores and skin a lot. Where the bra is concerned I can place it out behind me, and gently grab both ends and hook in the entrance after which shimmy it around and get it on…. or most days, I simply say the heck with it and go free.
As for the bras, attempt entrance closure ones – they are doable by yourself! I was sporting my husband’s button down dress shirts, however they’re long sleeved and actually sizzling, especially in Tucson.
