Where can I buy a sling?

Where can I buy a Sling? NOT more triangular bandages!

I have just had shoulder surgery, I have been told I will need to wear a sling for 12 weeks. After 3 days I am SICK of fraying, easily dirty triangular bandages.

I know I've seen people out and about with nicer blue slings but do you know where I could get one?

Ive fashioned a scarf for today.

I am back to the hospital tomorrow, I suppose I could ask there. I just think Its a sauce for me to ask for one on the NHS when they'd happily supply me with triangular bandages (which are functional) so I would rather buy myself.

Whilst I can't be injured and fashionable, I can be injured and practical!

That is just an example and if it is not what you are looking for they have many others. It is a good company to deal with.

HAHA

TBH, I will find it difficult to be trendy when the most painful accident I've ever had (this one) was sustained sober and by falling out of bed.

But I seem to have got everything on my triangular bandage, spag bol.... something I cannot identify... juice.

I never knew how much I'd miss my right arm

I thought you meant a sling as in a slingshot

You can also ask the NHS for a foam sling (kind of a loop), which may be more comfortable and less easy to drip on
