hey

can you bend your elbow? The drs made me a thing that I could sit with and have (well, they invented several slings)

First one was tied to an IV pole and involved a type of sling where the bottom of my elbow went in to the sling and held my hand up straight - but with all the weight being born through the sling. The next generation one was made by doubling a pillow and placeing another on top - so that my arms could rest on the pillow but the arms were extended and raised.

Definetly takes a while to get used to!

really wish I could offer some help... erm.. open a bottle of Rose (no glasses - just long straw , dig out the chocolates and watch a movie?

Just thought I'd say I'm thinking of you..

love

PS - does wearing a sling for small amount of times help? or a collar and cuff??
