@meuniesu welcome to Connect. You may notice I moved your discussion and combined it with an existing discussion in Joint Replacements group titled "Shoulder replacement: Post-surgery suggestions." I'm confident that fellow members who have had a shoulder replacement, like @basslakebabe19 @anncgrl @ellerbracke @artscaping can give you some pointers about how to restructure your normally physical active day and suggest activities to keep you from going stir crazy. Ah, yes, lack of sleep post op. I get that. You need sleep for recovery, but not being a back sleeper, it can be really hard. I'm sure members will have tips for side sleeping too.

Sue, what led to your needing a shoulder replacement? Are you or will you be doing physiotherapy?

I have arthritis, already had 2 arthroscopic procedures to remove bone spurs and buy me some time. Was hoping to do this after I retired, but was unable to wait that long . I currently have OT and PT coming to my house. Will see MD on 9/23 to see where I go from there
