Life's little ironies

Having just completed the conversation from power steering to manual I have managed a massive rotator cuff injury with 3 of the 4 tendons holding the shoulder together completely torn.

Parallel parking as physiotherapy? Grrrrrrrr.....

I think they make spinner knobs for this type of ailment. Might find one with a Hula Dancer under the plastic. That ought to help.

Sorry to hear that Doug ..heal fast.

Cool, maybe I can use my feet!

Only if you have an opposable big toe!

Third hand?

My kids say they look prehensile so maybe this will work.

Jeebus, what did you do? Sounds horrific.

 

[decoupe]

A Swede would understand

Believe it or not - x-country skiing. I try to make up for poor wax, bad technique, age and expectations by tucking the downhills while in the track. A brief moments loss of focus and augered my right shoulder into the ground.

Operator error all around.

 

[johanaxelson]

oh, I know what you mean. Not done it myself but I can definitely see it happen. Some fairly high speeds with icy and uneven surfaces can definitely cause damage.

I hope it heals up OK.

Good luck with your recovery. I badly injured my left rotator cuff years ago in a motorcycle accident (which, as an aside, I was lucky to survive at all). To this day there are exercises that are very difficult, and I wish I had done more rehab at the time of the injury to avoid scar tissue build-up but getting back to work seemed more important then.

I feel for you, ripped I'm left years ago still can't use it in a lot of positions. My right cuff was repaired and is better that ever.
Find a surgeon that has a great rep. Recovery is a Bish.
