Hi all, I’m completely freaking out ... I have surgery to my left shoulder in 3 weeks and I have to prepare based on no idea what they are repairing and they don’t know what is the problem causing chorionic pain for 2 years, possible tear that didn’t show up on the MRI.  I’m a working single mum of 2 kids with limited support.  I won’t know recovery until I wake up so that could be 2 weeks - 12 weeks.  How did you manage pain, getting dressed, clothing options and basic life hacks to get you through.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Tia
