Thank you! I am looking at surgery friendly shirts now. Is this the pillow you’re referencing: https://a.co/d/07e3v3FO
Details of my awful injury below. This pillow has been fantastic throughout my recovery: https://www.amazon.com/MOYOAMA-Shoulder-Sleeping-Recovery-Accessories/dp/B0F5DKZSFYIf cannabis is possible for you, get edibles very high in CBN (25mg CBN to 2.5mg THC is what I used) and consider strong indica strains in the evening. PROCEDURE PERFORMED: Left shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff repair including full-thickness supraspinatus tear and partial infraspinatus tear, single row slightly medialized repair with bio inductive collagen patch overlay Left shoulder arthroscopic subacromial decompression Left shoulder arthroscopic excision of distal clavicle Left shoulder arthroscopic extensive debridement including debridement of labrum (anterior/posterior/superior), synovectomy of rotator interval (articular capsule debridement), debridement V glenoid/humeral articular cartilage including debridement of glenohumeral fraying Left shoulder arthroscopic biceps tenodesis
I wished I had tried this during my early recovery. Seems like it might help keep the arm in a good position to sleep. Might be worth checking out. https://a.co/d/02ecuEcg
I wore mine 24/7 for 6 weeks and 2 more after that at night and when out. As others have said, focus on the end goal. You’re almost 1/8th done. Tips Cut the arm off a long-sleeve t-shirt and wear that over your arm. That will make it more comfortable and prevent irritation. Figure out how to prop your arm up when sleeping. I managed to sleep in bed by day 7, and this pillow was really helpful whenever I needed something to support my arm or side. https://www.amazon.com/MOYOAMA-Shoulder-Sleeping-Recovery-Accessories/dp/B0F5DKZSFY Adjust the sling so there’s not too much pressure on your neck.
