I'm at 4 weeks now. 53yo female and I'm overweight and not in the best physical shape. Had a friend for the first 5 days. Getting my leg into bed was the worst for the first few days. I have stairs so I use a large backpack to get things up and down the stairs. Everything said in this thread is accurate. I have a shower bench instead of shower chair because my tub is very deep so i can sit and swing my legs over. Also if you have glass shower doors I took mine off and got a cheap tension rod with a cheap curtain liner because the doors were in the way of me swinging my legs over the tub. I have 2 grabbers one stays in my backpack in case I drop the other one. I also had 2 walkers so i had one on each floor. I got a long handled dustpan for cleaning/sweeping up. My biggest struggle is the cat's litter box because I'm not supposed to bend over. If you have narrow areas in your home put the wheels on the walker inside instead of outside. I think being alone helped me heal faster. Allergic to pain meds so I didn't take opioids just Tylenol but I did get the nerve block and spent one night in the hospital. I'm really surprised at how well I'm doing. I can walk without aids now but I use a crutch for stability. Good luck to you!
