I find my balance, in the 6 weels since my surgery, very poor. I have fallen four times in the six weeks. Once I landed on my knees and my left hand. The other times I have either managed to twist and land on my bum, or fallen on my back.
I also find things like sleeping on my shoulders causes lots of pain. Wearing a bra is impossible. Shirts that have seams to low or to high in the underarm are painful. Getting up out of a sitting or lying position when you usually use your arms to lever yourself up is painful.
There are a ton of things that I never once thought of that cause me pain while I am recuperating.
That is not to say that, as BetterTOSer says, things will not improve as my health improves. I believe they will. Right now however I must be extra careful.
