My neck went out at work one day. Someone set me in a chair against a door until my sister could pick me up, and had to leave me there alone and take care of the business (restaurant.) My left arm was lifeless and completely useless, and I couldn't reach anything with my right arm. I was completely stuck in that chair unable to get out of it and wanting desperately to lie down on the floor. When my sister finally arrived, their assistance helping me out of that chair had me screaming in pain. The pain was un-friggin-believable.
It gets really annoying not being able to use my right arm--I write like a 3 year old with my left hand, eat finger food--and my hubby has to hose me off rather than a long, leisurely shower all by myself. But at least I didn't break both arms.
