OK Folks....strange question, I know, but I need your collective help!
I have ZERO cartilage in my R shoulder. Yikes! So, I saw an orthopedic shoulder surgeon who said that post op of a total shoulder replacement, I need to wear an arm sling for one month and not use my R arm for a month. I am fused from T1 to sacrum and am the "NW Poster Old Lady for log rolling out of bed" by rolling to my side and pushing up with BOTH arms to a sitting position. Well, I tried to do roll-over-in-bed-and-the-sit-up-with-only-my-L-arm and no go! I need both arms.
Please, please, please....I don't want to go to a Nursing Home, alias Assisted Living....lots of mashed potatoes and meatloaf and over cooked peas. Who knows how I can roll out of bed with only using my L arm?????
Eagerly Awaiting An Answer,
Susan
