the sling exercise
For the nite school course in aged care I have to wear a sling for 24 hours on my writing arn and not use it at all, a task usually done on student nurses and health care people to increase awareness of the difficulties of a disability. And, naturally i picked the easiest day, and did some preparation. Before I took the lid off the coffee jar by putting the jar between my knees and unscrewing it one handed. There will be difficulties during the day, but almost everything will be so much harder and time comsuming; both arms and my neck will get sore. Its a god thing I can wear shorts, sandals and a shirt for most of the day, this could be a lot harder in winter, much harder. A good exercise for us all to do, on a sat. or a sunday, probably easiest on a public holiday. Breakfast has to be weeties and milk, I think i can do and undo the buttons on my shirt one handed.
