https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Shoulder-Surgery-Advice/m-p/305619#M130309 <P>Good morning all.</P> <P>I was diagnosed with a Gleniod Labrum tear behind my left shoulder. My surgery date is Good Friday, March 29. I have been in physical therapy 3 times a week for the past month to stregthen my arm for recovery.</P> <P>I have partial paraysis of my right hand (only have use of my thumb and index finger). I am not too proud to admit that I am anxious about the recovery time with my right hand limitations. I have heard that the actual surgery is not the problem, it's that the recovery for this type os surgery is going to be a challenge.</P> <P>Has anyone had this surgery?... and are you willing to give me some pointers on what to expect?. <EM>I have been looking for pants with elastic waistlines and stocking up on baby wipes (for personal cleanliness</EM>). I will be rel-earning the most basic of life skills all over again with my right hand.I'm trying very hard to stay positive, but today isn't a good day.</P> <P>I hope someone can give me some words of wisdom and great suggestions to make my next few months in recovery as smooth as it can be.
