2 and the golden generation of Belgium and were knocked out 5-2. However, the semi-finals were against World No. India won that match 3-1 to enter the semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympics. I will loop back after surgery this week.Great Britain did not prove to be as tough a challenge for India. Thank you so much for reading along today, guys! I always appreciate the support. He has cooked every day-from scratch like me, too. He has been doing a stellar job keeping the house in order. He has stayed home with me everyday to help and comforting me. Out (not driving obv)dressed like my normal self in a dress n tights!īreaking a limb is devastating so if you’ve ever broken an arm or anything and want to share your helpful living hacks, or encouraging words, do so in the comments below! 👇🏻īefore I go, I want to thank my husband! He has been my greatest champion with our two girls. Less than an hour a couple of days later -fully showered and dressed. The results are not great but I’ll take it. My stylist is away.boo! So, I’ve been letting my hair air dry then use my dryer brush after which isn’t easy. What I have not mastered in 8 days is hair drying. Front clasping bras are way easier to maneuver.Pump bottles are a gift from God that I never knew I needed. hand soap, lotion, shampoo and conditioner. Claw hair clips for quick swooping one-handed hair styles helps to get hair out of eyes.You’ll be surprised how well you fair through. If you wear makeup, don’t get deflated by the use of your less dominant hand.Keep non medical child-lock or tight capped bottles and jars not closed/partially ajar for easy opening.Purchase a two pack of waterproof cast protectors for showering.I wear makeup everyday (yup even w my broken arm!), and my brush helps a lot to wash my face properly. From pits to bottoms, wipes of all types are our besties in the bathroom when we can’t shower m. Tying shoes is for our family and helpers.

Position everything you normally use on the side of your free hand, for easy accessibility.

Undressing- start with removing clothes from your non injured side then injured side. Start with dressing the injured arm side first then the rest.

Getting dressed- Wear loose fitting clothes until you can handle the balancing act.

As challenging as it seems, don’t give up. Like washing yourself, brushing your hair or teeth, or getting dressed.

Practice doing personal activities everyday.

Place a small pillow between your slinged arm and chest for extra support.You will feel fatigued, your body is healing. The splint or cast feels awful, and at times like we are stuck. You’ve already injured yourself, let’s not make it worse. You will definitely need an extra set of hands to do simple tasks and light housework the first day or two. Being injured is isolating and strange, even if my husband and daughters are a major help around the house, I do a lot and it has forced me to think outside of my daily routine to get by.

So, in all of this new left-handed living, I thought it would be helpful to share my tips and encouragement. Gosh, I can’t believe I’m looking forward to surgery. I’m looking forward to surgery this week so it’ll disappear. The thing is bulky, heavy and bothersome. I’m on day 8 in my splint, which I have utter disdain towards but that’s to be expected. Hey everyone! How are you? Enjoying Spring I hope.
