In this video, I'll share my story on how I got my partial rotator cuff tear & my recovery process, plus advice on Day 15 at 2 WEEKS post surgery of the left rotator cuff shoulder.

I waited 2 years to get the surgery which was NOT a good idea as it is starting to affect my good arm (right). So If you're going through this surgery or plan to, this video will give you some insight into what to prepare, expect and how to recover properly.

I'll share my experience with tips and advice on the recovery process to help you through your own shoulder surgery. I got my surgery on Jan 7, 2025 after a huge snowstorm in Virginia - which was nerve-wrecking and stressful driving out at 7 am throught 10 inches of snow to get my surgery. But I got the surgery and I am recovering well! :)

At 2 weeks I just got my stitches removed at day 10 and I put hydrocolloidal bandages on, and I am finally recovering well and can shower and wash my hair OK.
NOTE AT 2 WEEKS - DON'T BE SCARED TO COME OUT OF YOUR SLING FOR 2-3 TIMES FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS TO MOVE YOUR WRIST, FOREARM AND ELBOW. You want to do gentle & slow elbow bends upwards to move your elbow otherwise your muscles and fingers will lose circulation and flexibility. Just walk around the house with your arm down by your side if you are nervous to move it around. You can do gentle shoulder rolls only rolling backwards and make sure to do neck side bends. It makes huge difference!

Please feel free to ask me questions or anything! I would love to help or just to relate :)

Here are some Preparation tips I have for before you get your shoulder surgery:

-Pre open your water bottles & fill lots of water bottles
-Preopen your packaged food boxes like cereal, granola, bars, snacks, chips
-Buy shoulder ice packs (walmart, wegmans, CVS)

-Pump bottles for shampoo & conditioner and body wash, lotions
-get slippers or pretie your shoes to slip on
use scissors to cut your veggies and meat or food items that are hard for you to hold.
