That is definitely a pro-level tip about the bidet. I hadn't though of that aspect, but cannot imagine doing that paperwork for weeks with a bad dominant side. We're actually going to Europe between now and my surgery, so I'll have a chance to take a some of those for a spin lol.
Appreciate the sleeping and PT tips as well.
Thanks again!

Stress ball and tossing Frisbee to my dog were two other great therapies after surgery. My Aussie will fetch and catch until I quit, so that part was easy.

The TOTO bidet has been a real blessing since we got it. Warm seat. Yeah, I'm spoiled. Heheh

Two major obstacles I ran into post surgery:

If you lay down and stay still through the night you're set. If you're a restless sleeper - like me, I suggest sleeping in a recliner for the first few weeks post-surgery.

Also, I can recommend a TOTO Washlet: bidet with a REMOTE. Eliminates the paperwork after a poop. Godsend!

Hey Dawg

I had my own rotator surgery a year and a half ago. Almost back to normal. So now I'll do the other shoulder. Oh yay.
Therapy question(s) for you: is your shoulder your primary use side? Eating, writing, etc? If so, I have at least one major tip for you that they usually don't bring up at the medico's office.
