I hope your arm gets stronger every day and that soon you will be able to do some of the gentler things yourself again:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993625127076778295.post-65473327409719032192015-08-02T05:41:52.970+01:002015-08-02T05:41:52.970+01:00Oh my - you do make me laugh though - especially w...Oh my - you do make me laugh though - especially when you said you hadn't worn a bra for along time and now your husband does it for you. LOL I can just see him wearing the bra - ohhh, you mean now he hooks it, oh ok - well it hit me as funny the first time I read it.<br /><br />I do feel bad for you though - it must be so frustrating. We have a friend that lost part of one arm in an old printing press when he was a kid - was told to not mess around, but he did, and there went the arm. I always was amazed at what he did with one hand, though he had been at it for over 50 years so I suppose he had figured some things out - and he had aids to help him too - like a soap dispenser that worked with one hand - and a doodad that held his washcloth for him while he soaped it up, things like that. I often tried to do things one handed after a visit to him, but I was much to clumsy - and I could always cheat. Don't you cheat - let that arm get well - and I love the color of your nails.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993625127076778295.post-37488473698056375712015-08-02T03:08:12.952+01:002015-08-02T03:08:12.952+01:00Poor you, I broke both the lower bones in my right...Poor you, I broke both the lower bones in my right arm as a child and that was diff, as an adult life would have been almost impossible.

I know how it feels to have to depend on one's hubbie, I have just been getting over a back/rib incident which meant I couldn't get out of bed by myself or go to the loo and all that entails... I am still limited in getting about and hubbie is having to do way too much because I am struggling to stand for any length of time. What started mine off was bumping into my mum and I came off the worse - both of us were walking in opposite directions and not realising we were about to collide! It must be hard for you not being able to knit or sew. Hope your arm heals soon. Lovely to meet you. See you again soon.

I actually have been in a similar situation...broke my right thumb (our silly English Springer ran into my bicycle and dumped me off and of course I reached out for the pavement to break my fall) which isn't anywhere NEAR as bad! But, I remember well having to get my hubby to do the smallest things, like chopping the onions when I "cooked" dinner, and tying my shoes. It was awful! I hate you are going through all this. The pain must be terrible. Here's hoping you heal very quickly now!

I had to have friends and family come every day for about 2 weeks to tend to the dog, get me my meals, and be outside the bathroom door as I sat on a bath stool to shower (just in case I fell again). But eventually, I would prop one crutch in the corner of the kitchen and use the other to get around by grabbing the counter so I could make my own meals, load and unload the dishwasher, and get myself a drink. I can do most things myself now but the ankle is still sore and I have to wear full walking shoes with socks in the dastardly drought-like weather! Too hot to bear! So I hear you but you must persevere...as my mantra goes "this too shall pass."
