My surgery is three weeks from today, and I am busy preparing. It’s on my right (dominant) side. Is there a type of bra that worked one-handed? How about compression stockings, which I need to wear? I bought an “adaptive” T-shirt with loads of snaps, but I don’t think it will be comfortable. I have both a recliner and an adjustable bed. At what point were you allowed to drive, and who makes that decision? Thank you for all your invaluable advice!

I found it near impossible to wear a bra. This time around I bought a poncho that I can just slip over my head if I need to go out. I remember the last shoulder replacement. I got the bra on one side never did get it hooked and the other side you couldn’t see because my arm was covering it. I don’t have any idea how you’re going to get compression stockings on With one hand. You might ask your doctor or your nurse how you’re supposed to do that. Good luck.
