After my partial shoulder replacement I found that big mens t-shirts with the sleeve slit open or the neck so you can get in and out very easy is helpful. Pain medication is important. If you have one of the shoulder machines that raises your arm up and down for hours, I found that a baby blanket that is soft helps where you lay your arm on the machine. When taking a shower I borrowed a shower seat and changed the shower nozzel to the kind that you take down with the cord like thing so you could stay a little more dry. I had to have someone help me wash my hair for maybe a week or so. The best thing I think for showers and I am still having to use one after 3 months are the scrubbers that look like net and are round because it helps you reach the things you can not reach otherwise. Good luck and I hope you have a fast recovery. Do your PT it helps you get back to where you were.
