I think that 30 years of sharing a bed with a woman who keeps a claw hammer within easy reach (in case we're ever burgled, she tells me)is deeply intrenched in my sleeping subconscious. I suppose the hammer thing is part of her Scandinavian upbringing--Thor, hammers, Viking mythology--whatever. Believe me--I'm the last guy who would ever want to startle my bride from a deep sleep!George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602697467859417662.post-16411216602054720192012-03-21T22:20:36.335-04:002012-03-21T22:20:36.335-04:00Things could be worse, in my other life I am an oc...Things could be worse, in my other life I am an occupational therapist so I see these types of things all the time. I've had patients with external fixation devices on their wrists injure themselves with the protruding pins when they sneezed or absent-mindedly tried to scratch an itch on their face. Spare a thought also for the spouse of cast wearer who gets whacked when cast wearer tosses and durns in bead at night.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13896850408974812807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602697467859417662.post-13711935429085633942012-03-21T06:40:55.513-04:002012-03-21T06:40:55.513-04:00I find the bag over the arm to be both awkward and...I find the bag over the arm to be both awkward and leak prone if you don't get the tape correctly placed. The cling wrap gives me the sensation of being a left over ham waiting to be put back in the fridge but is much better in terms of shielding the cast from water. As for your other bathroom concerns I have no problems--no doubt one of the advantages of being semi-ambidextrous!George Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375041586503979232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1602697467859417662.post-71791359191986007592012-03-20T23:47:49.700-04:002012-03-20T23:47:49.700-04:00Sounds like you are doing reasonably well...

I'm not sure what you found so awful about the "plastic bag over your arm" for showering, though?<br /><br />And of course one of the hardest things you didn't mention -- going to the bathroom! (specifically "#2"... eep).<br /><br />GGordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953998801421616559noreply@blogger.com
