MY Simple Shoulder Test..PO Day 132
Here is my version of the SST, the Simple Shoulder Test, modified to fit my lifestyle:
Can I ride my bicycle now?
Am I able to use garden two handed loppers to trim an unruly vine?
Am I able to reach under the pull out bottom freezer drawer to clean up all the ice cubes that fall down there?
Can I reach behind my back to hook a bra or zip a dress?
Am I able to put on a necklace with a small hook by myself again?
Can I move the heavy couches in the living room to clean under and behind them?
Have I stopped looking down when I walk, worrying that I will stumble and fall?
Am I able to sleep on my right side again? And sleep the night through?
Can I dip ice cream from a carton from the freezer?
Am I able to lift down that really heavy Staub cast iron pot from the top shelf?
Am I able to use those two new kayaks I bought the week I fell and broke my arm?
Have I run out of things to say or write about reverse Total Shoulder Replacement Surgery?
Now, that seems relevant!
