Shaving - Arm"pits"

Okay ladies - is anyone having difficulty shaving your armpits after surgery? I am finding that I am constantly missing the deeper crease near my back. I can't contort myself enough to get that spot no matter what I do. It is like a game of twister in the shower to try and bend enough to get into the new creases.

Please share your shaving secrets if you have any!
