The First 14 Days: Your Post-Op Shoulder Survival Kit

After more than 20 years as an orthopedic surgeon, I've learned that some of the hardest parts of shoulder surgery happen after you get home.

It's figuring out how to sleep comfortably.

Showering while wearing a sling.

Keeping track of your medications.

And wondering whether something you're experiencing is expected—or worth a call to your surgical team.

The first two weeks can be overwhelming, especially when you're trying to figure everything out on your own.

That's why I created The First 14 Days: Your Post-Op Shoulder Survival Kit.

It's different from the free Recovery Guide you downloaded.

The Recovery Guide helps you recognize patterns and concerns during recovery.

The Survival Kit provides practical tools to help you prepare for and manage everyday challenges during those first two weeks.

Inside the kit:

• Sleep and positioning guidance
• Showering, hygiene, and sling-management resources
• A medication tracking sheet
• A checklist to help you recognize when to contact your surgical team
• Three questions to bring to your first postoperative appointment

Everything is organized in one downloadable resource you can refer to when you need it.

The First 14 Days Survival Kit — $27

My goal is simple: help you spend less time searching for answers and more time focusing on your recovery.
