Sure, my left arm and hand are weaker and out of practice. Beyond muscle and fine motor skill though, requires stamina. It's not that everything requires a ton of strength, but it takes forever to get through it, and then you go on to the next thing. Or you will once you have surgery. Seems unanimously recommended to get a shower chair because even though your shoulder has nothing to do with standing, you'll be so freaking tired. If you go with the recommended detachable shower head, you have to use your hand and arm almost all the time. You have to use your arm the entire time to wet, soap, rinse, the entire time. You can't simply stand there to rinse. It’s not that you’ve never used your opposite hand/arm before, but you’re going to be using it constantly. From one frustrating or tiring task to the next.
It’s mentally exhausting more than you’d think, too. It gets better, but for a while, glack.
Unfortunately I practiced so much with the left hand/arm the last few days, that shoulder now hurts too. I give up. For now.
