well, when my mother had a stroke and unable to use her right hand, she got good at throwing things at us with her left hand. your guy can throw sticks with the dogs and they will enjoy it. 😜
At least it is the left hand that is affected. He can still write and eat with a fork, and work the remote control! Poor man - it must still be so painful!
Boys and their toys. Glad he found something he can do with one hand. That has got to be hard, being one handed. Today Hubby went out with his bike group and two of them ended up getting patched up at ER, In two separate unrelated falls. Thankfully Hubby wasn’t one of them, but they are all friends, so quite concerned.
He needs my super charged sling that I had after my shoulder operation. It was very comfortable and came with a padded section that rested against the body. I hope he is feeling better x
@summerfield That is a great idea! @mzzhope he is getting better @randystreat LOL! Yup @louannwarren the better he gets the more miserable he is too LAW @maggiemae we are very grateful he is right handed! That remote control is the most important skill right now! @kaylynn2150 ouch! That is no fun @dutchothotmailcom LOL! He is currently forbidden to hold ANYTHING that can cause him damage! @shutterbug49 I am glad too. sorry to hear about your husband's group and glad he wasn't involved @ludwigsdiana They surely do! I think they are less resilient than women! He is in very little pain now thanks Diana @salza I know you are more fully understanding than many right now Sally thanks @casablanca Thanks bunches One day at a time @nicolecampbell that sounds ideal Nicole. We are managing with this one and he often doesn'ty even use it when he is sitting in his chair in the house. @cjphoto veryu important question Chris! Thankfully he is right handed so he is still able to eat and do most things that he needs to with very little help form me. Thank you for your concern @gijsje that is so nice of you bep thanks! @linnypinny Yes! Cabin fever was beginning to make him a little grumpy! @lesip there is a story about that. The grinder bucked back and got caught in his shirtsleeve which jammed it. Had it not it probably would have severed an artery in his upper arm and I think he would have bled to death before he got to the hospital. @eudora Thanks Diane. It was bad at first but since it has been a week he is adjusting to it quite well. Still painful but not nearly the level it was!
This shot reminds me of the endless hours of TV watching I did at the hospital once out of the coma. It's so hard not to be able to be active- but thankfully electronics do help pass the time of day. Glad to see he's up and out. Hopefully the healing goes quickly and he'll be able to do a little more each day once the sling and bandages come off- but not in the wood shop for a while! (And that will happen when pigs fly, right?)
@olivetreeann I had to laugh at your last sentence! you know him quite well it seems! I actually dropped him off at his shop this morning for a few hours with the instruction that he was not to turn ANYTHING on! He just needed a change of scenery and there’s a chair there for him to sit in a TV to watch when he gets tired of wandering around the shop!
