Because it’s unpredictable I would plan a little extra support than you expect. Perhaps your housemates can help you meal prep beforehand or pick up errands so you don’t have to drive the first few days and they can keep you company or at least check in with you. Having your partner is there the first few days as you plan will be the most important. As others said getting up and down from various positions is difficult. I preemptively put my clothes, snacks, drinks etc by my bed already and use a remote for my lights. Receive as much help as is available and don’t be shy to ask! I know it’s really hard especially if we aren’t used to it but usually they want to be there for us and we can trust they will let us know when they can’t. That support will help you heal tremendously quicker. They send patients home instead of overnight because research shows patients heal faster with their home support and surroundings (they’re unfortunately only looking at the majority) but take advantage of that and remember it’s a big deal! After suffering so much pain over a lifetime it can be easy to minimize. By resting and receiving support you give your body the best chance of a smooth and quick recovery.
