Readable personal shoulder surgery narrative
I didn’t discover this book until 2 days AFTER my surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. Although I sometimes thought the author was over cautious she does remind her readers that everyone heals at a different rate, shoulder surgeries can differ in intensity and severity and that the most important things are: don’t rush things, get LOTS of rest, don’t forget to eat and above all, you’ll need help and will need to ASK for it.

Great advice for Shoulder Surgery
Very good advice for what to expect if you are having shoulder surgery. These tips will make it so much easier (I hope) when I get my total shoulder replacement.

Easy to read, funny, sets expectations, helpful ideas
My experience has been somewhat different but her attitude and ideas are wonderful. She encountered many of the same issues i did. Good for anyone, especially women, with surgery coming up or in recovery.

How to survive and thrive from shoulder surgery
As I sit in my recliner with a sling and ice pack on my dominant shoulder, it's been helpful to read about the phases of recovery and benefit from many useful tips.

Really good information.
With shoulder surgery in the next 30 - this book gave me a 'real' idea of what to expect and how to go the duration in a modicum of style and comfort.

It was OK. I'm a little for academically advanced. It encouraged me to take it easy but I wanted more actual information. Great for someone who isn't as geeky as I am.
