    Woohoo!

    I've never been able to do that. Not a ROM problem, just lack of coordination

    Yay! So maybe I can do mine by Christmas?

    I see constant improvement in ROM and strength on surgical shoulder and while I can now put my hand behind my back, still can't raise it up that high behind my back just yet....

    Congrats on the new found flexibility!

    maybe a stupid question though.... why try to hook your bra behind your back.... I always hook mine in the front then spin it around before I put the shoulder straps on... granted I'm an A cup, so maybe its not easy to do it that way when your are better endowed?

    Well clearly, a celebration is in order.

    In the meantime, I lifts my glass of Westover Pinot Noir Rose (the most recent COW Club wine) in your general direction!!

    And then, I drinks it, in honour of you.

    Errr, don't mind me, my weekend has already started ...

    We may need another celebratory journey to Westover sometime soon ...

    Oh, and Eden, if it's any consolation at all, that's precisely the way I put on my bra too.

    I wear mostly pull on sports bras myself and have always worn soft cup ones. I bought my first actual real bra about uh - two years ago..... and I only wear them at work.
