Hi there once again. I must admit, I was glad to have a friend come and spend three or four days with me. You will only have one hand so washing your hair and bathing requires a bit of help while you are in the immobilizer. You can have meals delivered and hire a driver to pick you up and take you to appointments and PT.

You may need help dressing and undressing. Tying shoes can be a challenge. Maybe you should try some of these daily chore activities with only one arm this week. Figure out where you will need help and who can do it. Does your insurance cover in-home PT and personal assistance?

You may find that your surgical team includes access to a social services representative who can help you with shopping and washing clothes. My grandchildren came up on weekends to help in the business and at home. I had two cats and a Cavalier puppy. Another friend would stop by to make sure they were taken care of and fed.

Lists are helpful once you know who will be providing what assistance. It will all work out......as long as you remember that taking good care of your shoulder is at the top of the priority list.

Anything else you need help with. Transportation? Using a computer? Grocery shopping? House cleaning?

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
