OT. New physiotherapy tomorrow

I have to go to hospital tomorrow to get more exercises for my shoulder. I
am not looking forward to it at all. What I do already hurts so badly and
each time another other one is added it hurts more.
I *know* I have to do it, and am doing, but the moment my shoulder stops
hurting a bit, I have to start it all again and it starts agony again.
New exercise tomorrow. Oh, joy.
However I have to do it to try to be able to drive again. I'm really shot
living where I do if I cannot drive.
I just cannot put my arm forward to put my car into 3rd gear atm. My
physiotherapist did not help by saying "you will probably be able to raise
your arm to put your laundry on the clothes line before you'll be able to
drive your car."

As there is no chance of raising my arm atm, I'm really upset by this.
I *must* drive. To get food for my chickens and to shop.

I wish I lived nearer to you so I could help.

Aww, thank you.
Physiotherapist raised my arm to the maximum today (bearing in mind I can
only do this if I support it with my other arm) and asked me to try and
support it myself for a few seconds.
O M G. It hurt so much I held my breath each time.
Next week I get into the hydrotherapy pool as she says having my arm
supported by water will help.
June gets food for my chickens, but she helps me so much I get embarrassed
to keep asking.
Shopping is my real problem. Yes, I can do it online but I can never find
everything I want.
I've been pretty well stuck in the house since March 14 although I've walked
to the shops a few times recently when I was desperate, I really should not
do it as it hurts my shoulder big time, it's too far

Could you speak to the owner/manager of the grocery and describe your
problem? It's possible there might be an employee (or son or daughter of an
employee) who would be willing to deliver your groceries for a fee. You
could call in an order, either directly to the grocer or to the person who
is going to deliver.

You might just get lucky unless the grocery concerned is a supernarket
where frankly you'd be lucky to get someone to help you bag up in the
UK! A couple of years ago when I tripped over Dunzi and busted my
ankle and Dave was still in a wheelchair I tried to use the
supermarket over the road and I had to call the cab office 2 doors
down to take me over the road as I could barely walk....and I got no
help whatsoever despite being on crutches...the second day I needed
some fresh vegs and a few other bits that one of my local shops stocks
so I got the cab even through it was less than 5 minutes walk normally
when I went in the guy asked me what was going on and when I explained
he gave me their phone number and for the rest of the week until I
could get about on my own I;d call them and say "I need catfood (they
know not to give me tins), a loaf of bread, cheese etc" then they'd
call me back to confirm they had what I wanted or if they didn't to
discuss an alternative then they'd tell me how much and I'd sort it
out (they're cash only so the one time I did get to a cashpoint I took
the max out) maybe tell them "If that's £9.60 well I only have a
tenner" so they'd know to bring change then one of their staff would
pop my stuff round and if it was a lot they'd bring it upstairs and
indoors for me but that was just lucky...although they have a very
loyal customer as a result (was there today and picked up some
seedless grapes amongst other things, which I am currently pigging out
on)

Like everyone as an Asda customer, it's not possible to have them talk to
you online, no telephone contact is possible. It costs me three US pounds
to have my groceries delivered - it's a bummer that I cannot find everything
I want on their website even though I know there are there in the store
This is the reason I need to shop for myself - and to do so I have to drive.
I'm doing my physio like crazy to achieve that.

I wished I had not asked my physiotherapist today about my prognosis. She
thinks it might be a year before I can use my shoulder properly again.

My own experience has been that I accomplished more on my own than I
ever did with physiotherapy. That goes for shoulder, hip and knee.
Best wishes.

I'm sure that June is more than happy to help you out as no doubt you
would be if your positions were reversed. Maybe one day you'll have the
chance to repay her kindness.
