Friday's the big day
#1
Friday is the day that my husband has surgery for a right shoulder replacement. I think we will be eating alot of easy to eat food since he won't be able to use his right hand for at least two weeks or more. He went out today and bought a couple pairs of sweats to wear, but I have to hem them up, one pair was about 6 inches or more to long and the other one wasn't quite that bad only about 4 inches. So I have to get busy and get them hemed!! I don't know how much sewing I'm going to get done in the next few weeks, as I'm sure he is going to take alot of my time. He's already talking about how bored he will be with nothing to do.

DH will catch on to using his left hand to eat :wink: I had shoulder surgery, and found that a "bib" was not a bad thing :D
I found a recliner to be very comfortable, one with low arm rests. He won't be moving his arm at all much for the first 3 weeks.
Over sized shirts are another thing... you can't move your elbow away from your body for the first few weeks, so button down or oversized tshirts were much easier to get in/out of. Short sleeves are easier than long sleeves too :D:D:D

I found the hardest thing to do was to brush my teeth!!!
Well, wiping was tough too.....
I spent a lot of my time in my Lazy Boy recliner and watched videos and read books and learned how to mouse left handed to play some games on my lap top computer. I had one of those bed trays that you can sit over your lap and put the laptop on it. I had a Polar Care running most of the time keeping my shoulder iced.
