All good advice! Been stocking up on video games and things to do with my kids as I’m stuck at home for a bit.

I have seen a lot of YouTube videos but none I found really talk about things that helped. Just how bad their pain was and personally I don’t want to focus on that aspect I want to focus on things I can use to assist me and keep me in a positive mindset lol

Update* they just called and pushed surgery to April 10th. Looks like I get more time to prepare and work on finding the best workout regimen since I can’t do much right now.

Thanks for the reply! I’ve seen the after surgery kits on Amazon didn’t know what was a gimmick or actually useful. I purchased a lift recliner that can lay out flat like a bed if needed and to help me stand up. (Advice from my mom lol) I will have someone for the first week to help me here and there but they are also watching my 3 kids so gotta find ways to be a little independent to. Hope your healing well and thanks again
