I have moved many times with the Navy. There are certain things that I insisted on packing into Rubbermaid tubs. They then packed the tubs into boxes, that was fine.
Being that you are not supposed to use your arm..... can you have a friend help? Can you be there in the room when your stuff is being packed? I know there are a million other things that need to be done. You may have to let this one go a little.
Oh my gosh that brought back memories! my husband is retired navy he was on subs. I always hated the moves and it seemed that every time things got broken and we had to wait forever for the claims, some thing were not able to be replaced as they belonged to my great grandmother. Finally started packing myself and nothing else was ever broken. But the work involved was a nightmear! Also never liked having to change the kids schools, and learn my way around new towns. Was so happy when the 20 years was up.
