I cannot drop a ball according to rule20-2a, the "by Whom and Howl" bit.

Well by Whom - I can handle. Its the how thats the problem

I have damaged both shoulders and it is impossible to hold the ball at shoulder height and arm’s length without supporting the one arm with the other - and only in front of me. Shoulder height and arm’s length to either side is impossible.

I assume that supporting one arm in front of me is OK. If not, I'm sure I can get a waiver.

Am I right?

Yes, you're right.

A ball to be dropped under the Rules must be dropped by the player himself. He must stand erect, hold the ball at shoulder height and arm's length and drop it.

That's all it says. You're fine. Support your arm all you want.

Thanks Erik.
