Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Surgery is one day. Recovery is a year. This is the map for both. Shoulder replacement asks more of you than most operations: weeks in a sling, months of sleeping upright, a season of one-armed living, and a recovery whose rules change depending on which operation you had. This manual walks you through all of it, in plain language, one week at a time - from the first conversation with a surgeon to the day you stop thinking about your shoulder altogether. Inside: - Anatomic and reverse replacement, explained - what each operation involves, who typically gets which, and how the recovery rules genuinely differ between them- The six weeks before surgery - home setup for one-armed living, the equipment worth buying (and skipping), and the sleep station that makes the first months bearable- Day-by-day guidance for the hardest stretch - the nerve block wearing off, sling life, showering, dressing, and the two-week wall- A three-tier red-flag system - what needs the emergency room, what needs the on-call line tonight (with the exact phone script), and what can wait for your next appointment- The full recovery arc - physical therapy phases, sling weaning, driving, returning to work, and the honest timeline for getting back to golf, swimming, gardening, and everything else- A dedicated caregiver chapter - written directly to the spouse or family member doing the two-handed tasks- 22 appendices of working tools - surgeon question sheets, equipment checklists, pain and medication trackers, a sling-weaning log, month-by-month milestone checklists, and a Red Flag Quick-Reference Card designed to be photographed onto your phoneThe chapters explain; the appendices give you tools. No medical jargon without a translation, no toxic positivity, and no assumption that recovery goes perfectly - including a full chapter on what to do when it doesn't. Written for patients and their families, in the calm, practical voice of the Joint Recovery Series - alongside The Knee Replacement Recovery Manual, The Hip Replacement Recovery Manual, and The Knee Replacement Preparation Manual. Whether your surgery is scheduled, being considered, or three weeks behind you: start where you are. The book is built for exactly that.…
