At night, experiment with laying on your side (your back to your husband) with your "bad" had resting on a down pillow away from any covers, without the glove.
While water falling on my hand hurts (the shower), still warm water feels great (pool, ocean, tub w/ Epson Salts.)

Yes, my Dr. knows about the glove. He agrees with you about the range of motion so that is why I have reduced my time wearing it to what it is now instead of never taking it off.
I will try this suggestion, thanks so much.
I try to not take a shower due to the pain of the shower hitting my arm. I like my bath time, I can gently ease my arm into the warm water and that is where I do most of ROM exercises. The hard part is getting out of the tub and having the cooler air hit it....ugh, it seems like I am paying for that 30 minutes.
