I'm in a quandary. I am just about out of good bread flour (one more
baking).
My husband injured himself doing some macho yard work at the beginning
of September. He could barely walk. I started carrying heavy grocery
items that I had no business doing as I have no rotator cuff in my
right arm from previous injury. As a result I injured my left
shoulder trying to manage some awkward and heavy items that really
required both arms. My husband and I both are currently in physical
therapy. Now how the heck am I going to get a 50 pound sack of flour
from the vehicle to the house? 25 and 10# are also out of the
question.

Oh dear! I am so sorry to hear that! I get a lot of pain in one shoulder.
Years ago I dislocated it and I am paying for it now

I hope you are both ok very soon!

Would a neighbour help, or a friend??
