Shoulder Surgery Prep List -Prep small container freezer meals you can get out and handle with one hand.-I also prepped frozen breakfast burritos. All we had to do was pop them in the microwave in the mornings. Recipe: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTD27qnAT2p/?igsh=MTJlbGliYTNqMHl2aw== Roast veggies 15 min at 400, add beef and broil at 500 for 5 min, add egg mix and bake 20 minutes at 400.-Put toilet paper, small side tables, all daily supplies on the unaffected side.-Go ahead and purchase enough day-to-day supplies that you won’t have to do big shopping during recovery. TP, paper towels, paper plates, (disposable is your friend to reduce washing dishes) nonperishables, laundry detergents, dish soaps and dishwasher liquid-Get pump soaps and shampoos for shower, a small shower seat, pouf on a stick, shower wand-Highly recommend a recliner. Power recliner even better and will allow you to get up by yourself when pain is high and you feel extremely stiff. I bought this one - https://a.co/d/00EOSKe9-Buy a couple cases of protein drinks, a bottle of vitamin C, and some vitamin d3 with k2. All of these are the supplements linked to better outcomes and lower pain. You can increase your protein intake before and continuing about 3 months after surgery. Tumeric supplement can also decrease inflammation.-Also buy stool softener - NOT LAXATIVE - and start that once daily as soon as you get home from surgery. Use them for as long as you use any opioid pain killers.-LOTS of blankets, small pillows, hand towels that can be used as supports, padding, positioning aides for sleep and daily comfort.-Get an under counter jar opener and some rubber grippers for opening things in the kitchen. Stop tightening jars so tight pre-surgery.-Make sure you have a good water bottle that you can easily open and keep near you to stay hydrated.-Shoes that slip on easy.-Tear away shirts and very loose and comfy pants. Shoulder Surgery Recovery Shirts... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F2G7MSP8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share-Forget bras for the first many days….. You might be able to get bandeau style on… when ready, you want ones you can put around you backwards, hold down one side with bad arm by just pressing it to your body and use the good hand to fasten the other side. Then turn the bra around right side forward and pull the straps up.-Use hair towel wraps to dry hair… i have been able to use a Revlon Hair brush dryer one handed. Microfiber Hair Towel for All... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F3V5VT4?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share-Spray deodorant is important the first few days!-A mesh sling for the shower that could get wet helped me when I was showering by myself and my arm still felt extremely fragile.-I also got a small shower stool that is still highly helpful for reaching everything without the risk of falling.

You may not be able to use ice trays. Get a bunch of the small 8-10 oz water bottles and freeze those. Place the pump, fill the bag with frozen water bottles, then add JUST ENOUGH WATER to get good flow. Don’t get a huge machine - make sure you can handle it to dump and empty one armed.-For work - a small keyboard is important for not having to move your arm and hand far. Position everything as close to you as possible. Set your workstation up ergonomically. Mine was the dominant arm, so I bought a trackball mouse to help.
