How to don a compression sleeve when the other arm is in a sling

I'm posting this as a new topic, just in case anyone in similar circumstances ever does a search. I had shoulder surgery a few weeks ago, on my right side, which is my dominant side and my non-LE side. I'm in a sling for quite a while. I'm allowed to use my hand and wrist, and I can bend the surgery-side arm at the elbow, but I cannot and should not move my right shoulder. That puts a serious crimp in the art of putting a compression sleeve on my left arm.

For the first week, I did not dare even try, and DH was home to help, so I was ok (but I will not comment here on his technique!). Then I missed a few days when I really should have been in the sleeve, because he was away for work. But finally I figured it out, and here's how:

Equipment needed: a silicone tongs doo-dad that's meant for pulling stuck toast out of a toaster; a Dycem pad, a Juzo Slippie, and a rubber glove. I don the Slippie and place the Dycem pad on the kitchen counter. Then I put my right, surgery elbow on the counter to the right of the pad, planting it firmly to make sure that my shoulder remains immobile. I bring my left, LE forearm to the center of my body and use my right hand to slide the sleeve, which I bunched up a bit, over the Slippie. Then I can use my right hand to pull the sleeve to just above my left elbow. Next, I use the Dycem. Laying my left arm on the pad, I push my arm so that friction on the Dycem moves the sleeve up, also inserting the toast tongs to help guide the cuff up, and to adjust the cuff, which tends to fold over on the way up. With the rubber glove on my right hand, I hold the sleeve in place as I remove the Slippie, which is easy to do by hooking the Slippie's loop on a door knob and then stepping backward. Later, the toast tongs can catch the cuff and fold a tiny bit of it, then grab it to start it down my arm for removal. The Dycem pad helps the tongs get the sleeve to the elbow, where I can safely reach and finish the job with my right hand alone.

The hardest part is getting the folded cuff straight where it's on the back of my arm, and I find the Dycem helps a bit there. It's also not so easy to get under the cuff to start pulling the sleeve off. Binney suggested to me that I might sew a loop of ribbon to the cuff, to help with removal, and I think I'll give that a try, too, when I can ask a friend to sew with a machine so there's a sturdy attachment.

And I hope nobody ever needs to find this topic.
