I end up doing a little bit and then sitting down to rest to get weight off my arm by letting it rest in a neutral non weight bearing position. It drives me nuts and I don't get much done.

Anyone else out there get frustrated and what do you do?
I let my husband do the vacuuming, laundry and anything that involves reaching. I can unload the dishwasher, but he puts the higher up things away. I can't drive at this point due to the TOS, and that is the thing that drives me most batty!
