She fell and broke her humerus and is wearing a brace and has to wear an immobility belt/arm harness also. Does anyone have suggestions on what kind of tips I could get her. It is tough to remove the Velcro on everything and if I move her arm too much it hurts. She has Alzeihmers and since falling, she has no appetite.

How about oversized dusters that snap up the front? Don't even put her arm through the sleeve. Blair has very reasonably priced dusters. And cute ones, too.

I fell and fractured my humerus this year also. I wore large over sized tee shirts. It was easier to just pull something over the top than to get into a top that had buttons. I needed a stronger pain med than originally prescribed. Had to get something with an opiate to actually take the edge off the pain. That in turn can cause constipation. The fracture itself can cause chills or fever, strange but that can be a symptom. I also had less appetite for a while. Physical therapy is important to get mobility back so she doesn't end up with a frozen shoulder.

Broken upper humerus here, too. Darn falls. It is going to be painful for quite some time. I didn't need a brace, just wore a sling for a couple of months. Now I am in physical therapy as the arm muscles will freeze up. Tough to sleep. Tough to eat, too, the pain makes you not want to eat anything.

Oh my gosh, trying to get into tops was a painful experience. I found a website where they offer tops that open at the shoulders using velcro.... one has to step into the top to put it on. The place is called "ShoulderShirts" and just google that name as one word.

And as Maggie had suggested above, oversize dusters, I bought what is called "cobbler's aprons" but these are made like shirt tops, open armhole with snaps down the front. I bought them from a website catalog called "ShopNationals", those cobbler aprons were very inexpensive, wash and dry easily, too.

I've read that some new hospital gowns are being tried locally. I believe they snap open along the shoulder as well as below the arm. There are other adaptations, but I don't recall what they are for sure. They're apparently somewhat different from the typical ones that tie in the back and occasionally come undone and flop open.

I haven't seen these new ones, but I'm thinking that the broken shoulder side could just be snapped at the top and left open at the bottom, or if the gown is big enough, slipped inside the harness, if that's possible.

I'd keep some soft fleece throws or blankets handy as well since a change in clothing might cause her to become cooler, and it won't be possible to put on sweat shirts or something else that could keep her warm.

She slept soundly last night, propping her up with pillows definitely helped and no it was not her primary arm so that is a blessing. The immobility Velcro belt is definitely cumbersome and I would rather use a sling but will probably check with doc tomorrow. I did order her some shirts so that should help with dressing. She is much better today and I am hoping that each day gets better. It is tough though because I have to keep telling her that she broke her arm, the Alzeihmers makes it challenging.

My goodness, thank you all for the advice and information, I will check on the cobbler's aprons and get some oversized tshirts. I was racking my brain trying to figure something out. I so appreciate your answers. Believe it or not she is a tough cookie and is only taking Tylenol for the pain! She is 86 years old!

Good to read that your Mom only needs Tylenol for the pain. For me, that break was the worse pain I ever felt in my life [I have a high pain tolerance], and over-the-counter meds did very little to help and I refused to take any prescribed pain relievers. Four months later there is still some pain.

Hope your Mom can sleep in a recliner, it had been highly recommended to me by two doctors. Unfortunately I had no recliner so had to sleep sitting up in bed surrounded by pillows :(

I am overwhelmed by the kindness of all of you. The recliner idea sounds wonderful but we don't have one that will work but the sitting up propped idea is super and I am trying that tonight. Thank you, thank you, I am so glad I asked in this forum. I don't feel so alone!

Scottie, if you need any ideas or suggestions, with some of us here still recovering ourselves from such an injury, we can help.

I hope the arm/shoulder that broke wasn't your Mom's primary use arm. Otherwise, she would need to learn to do everything with her non-primary use arm. I am right-handed, and trying to write or even eat left handed, the final result was that of a 3 year old :P Even four months later, I still use the computer Mouse left handed.

I also put my woolen cape on which keeps her warm! She is always cold!
