Hi all,
My surgery is Monday, 1/23. I'm trying to find some comfortable easy on/easy off shirts to wear afterwards, but so far have not had any luck. I don't wear button-down shirts with collars, so they won't help. I also don't wear 3/4 sleeve shirts, so they won't help.
This time of year, everything I wear on the top is something that gets pulled on over my head, thus requiring raised arms, which I've heard can be difficult to impossible after surgery (my surgery is T9 to ilium). My first layer is either a long-sleeve turtleneck, or a long-sleeve v-neck knit tshirt-style top from either LL Bean or Talbot's. Then I usually wear either a sweatshirt or a V-neck sweater as my second layer. It's possible to find a few V-neck sweaters that button here and there, though I don't actually own any at this time. But, though I've tried, I can't seem to find anything to use as an easy-on/easy-off first layer. They don't make button-down turtlenecks that I know of, and I have yet to find a button-down V-neck knit shirt that looks like something I would actually wear. Any suggestions where I should look for suitable post-surgery tops?
-- Thanks,
Mary
