Shoulder surgery scheduled...looking for advice

I feel your pain, Danielle. I'm 4 weeks post-op. Sleeping is the worst. And loss of stamina is frustrating. Previous suggestions all sound spot-on to me. Congrats on being allowed to get back in the water. Hydotherapy is probably the best thing for you. ruffwater--hang in there. I am cheering for you from Seattle--one-handed, of course! I am out of the sling and bolster but still not sleeping great. Part of the problem is that I broke the elbow on the same arm in highschool. It was improperly put in a cast and now I can't straighten that arm. So lying on my back, my hand can't rest on the bed and my poor biceps (where the tendon got shortened a bit during the surgery also) can't "turn off". I still have not been in the pool yet. The trip to the pool is 6:30 to 10:00 PM on a PT day and I have been too tired to get myself going. I keep saying next week. I really miss endorphins, danielle
