I would advise you get loose, front fassening tops shirts. I got a few check shirts from matalan. The denim shirts are all the go now too. But don’t get tight as u will struggle to bend your arms into them, also onzies for first few days for recovery. I tried to get my coat on, 3 days after and I couldn’t. Or even loose vest that u can pull up from the bottom half to the top xx

If I can advise anything it’s buy front fastening tops and REALLY easy pants like baggy pjs or loose leggings. I couldn’t for the life of me pull my pants back up after having a wee haha my bf had to pull them up for me and forget flushing! He had to do that for me too I could barely use my arms so yeah front zipped baggy hoodies and loose pants! Xxx
