Clothing with snap at the sleeves: need website recommendation.

This time is "me time". A month ago I dislocated my shoulder and now I need a full rotator cuff surgery. The shoulder is frozen in place. I had to wait several weeks due to nerve damage and need for swelling to decrease. I will be in a stabilizing splint for a few weeks followed by months of PT.My physical therapist recommends to find a couple of shirts with snap sleeves to make it easy to dress myself.Are there any websites so that I can order before I have surgery.

I'm coming back to say that the modifications look pretty simple to me, if you or someone you know is a handy seamstress it should be fairly easy to buy a few cheap, oversized shirts, open the shoulder and arm, and add in snap or velcro closures

I found this
https://www.reboundwear.com/collections/shoulder-surgery-shirts

It's quite pricey but the clothing looks like very good quality

Here is another one
https://www.slingshirt.com/shop/slingshirt

Or you might ask the PT if they have any recommendations since they know what their patients are buying

Here’s another idea . When my daughter broke her shoulder , she wore tank tops . She wore leg warmers on her arms . After she put the leg warmers on , I placed a couple of safety pins , pinning the leg warmers to the tank top so they wouldn’t fall down , since she’s thin .

I was thinking sleeveless t-shirts but I thought the problem might be in lifting the arm to get the shirt on.

A quick search led me to Silverts.com. They have adaptive clothing.
Dawn Wells (actor from Gilligan's Island) had a line of adaptive clothing as well.
Amazon has some but none of it looked any better than a hospital gowns.

I wish you well in your recovery. So sorry you are dealing with this.
