Things you cant do when you damage your rotator cuff ...

First, thanks to everyone who left me comments on my last blog pos :) ... you all made my day ...

okay, the rotator cuff ...I was running with buddy (8 lbs) and honey (4.5 lbs) when buddy snarled, scared honey, who sped up and ran in front of me for protection ... my landing foot started to touch honey and in that instant i remembered the last time we tripped on her it was a $400.00 vet bill so i raised my foot (yes, the one i was about to land on) and plumeted to the ground with both arms flailing about ... nothing broken, but it looked like i was trying to slide arms first into home plate ... i did manage to land on my left arm... which made a real creepy tearing sound ... and that's how i damaged my rotator cuff ...

So, I'm finding out there is a lot I cant do ... like hold my hands on the 10 and 2 position on the steering wheel ... its now more like 10 and 6:30 ... and i have to use my right hand to hit the turn signal which is on the left side of the steering wheel ... so driving is not so great right now

i can shower, i just cant clean my right upper body ... so i have one dirty armpit ... i just stand in the shower with my hand in the air hoping the water will clean it... and deoderant ... cant get any on the right side ... and my now short hair that needs to be blown dry and flat ironed ... now sticks out at all angles as i can blow dry parts of it but not much ... oh, pills ... those pain meds the doctor gave me, i cant get into them because it is impossible to twist and hold down the lid with one hand ... putting on my bra, well i can get it on but i have to get dd to do it up for me ...

SO... if you see me, and my hair is messy and one arm pit smells and my boobs are lopsided in my bra ... you know why :)

Sorry, no pics, but you have my dad's reassurance that it was a hilarious fall to watch and that he would have laughed out loud if i hadnt been writhing in pain on the floor :)
