Milk jug

I can finally put one on the top shelf of the fridge!! Been doing it for almost two weeks now. If you have never had major rotator cuff surgery you don't know how big of a deal this is.

☺️ Happy days!
Good for you. Glad you're healing up nicely.
good for you hope it continues to be a full speedy recovery
I feel your pain I know mine are worn out even lifting any thing or trying to rase my arms cause a lot of pain I have put off for years even having them checked. I just put up with the pain but fear I am down to no options now .
Sounds like you're mending well! I once dropped a full gallon milk jug while attempting to put it away on the top shelf. Dang thing exploded when it hit the floor!
Cleaning up that spill was quite a bit of work. I had to move the refrigerator, and wash down all of the lower cupboards. I now use two hands handling a milk jug and store them in the fridge door!
As a former milkman I recommend keeping it on bottom shelf ,colder there .
Depends on the refrigerator. Don
I'm sorry I just don't get this discussion. "Top" shelf???
When ladies and jugs are mentioned in the conversation I get confused.
Great. Now you can work on putting milk jugs with milk in them on the top shelf of the refrigerator.:-)
It's the one right above the bottom shelf.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
YEP, mine is top shelf and that stuff freezes if left there unlike the bottom.
I still don't get it. In my vernacular this is "top shelf"
we call them hockey pucks around here.............
I asked around, nobody I know has ever seen one of them newfangled "refridgeramater" things. We just leave stuff sitting out and it assumes room temperature, usually 35-42F.
And don't try to cook a hockey puck on an iron skillet. You can't stand the smoke long enough before it gets tender.
I do know. My rotator cuff surgery was 15 Sep. I completed PT about 15 Jan. At that point I could lift 40 Lbs and put it on a cabinet shelf with 2 hands. You need to exercise the arm every day to break up any scar tissue forming and improve/maintain your range of motion.
Then I had a discectomy and recovery was pretty quick. Just when I was getting my car out of the shop, I stood up quickly. blacked out, fell and fractured 2 ribs. The fractured ribs caused the worse pain I've ever encountered.
Just remember to keep your top shelf liquor in the freezer.
Surgery was 2 December. Started physical therapy two weeks after that. Being able to lift my arm above my head is such a relief. My goal is a return to 100% range of motion. I do the PT exercises at home on days I don't have an appointment.
Yep, scar tissue is the main concern. If allowed to form it will limit ROM. Therapist manipulates my arm in various directions and to the point of resistance and then a skosh more. Slightly painful but not unbearable. This is after I have done all the stretching, arm lifts and 2 lbs weight workouts.
Continue to take care of your shoulder. Don't want any setbacks.
Gallon milk jug = a great DIY 8 lb., dumb bell !
I would tell problem shooters to put a (full) gallon water jug in a plastic shopping bag. Then hang it on their trigger finger & use it to exercise.
