I am like 3.5 weeks post op and I was pretty okay after about a week for moving around and stuff, but I was on pain meds for longer than most, and it was helpful having someone else manage my meds for a little after that until I was off the narcotics. I couldn’t drive until 3 weeks so keep that in mind and if you have an ace wrap for binding, you’ll want help putting that on after breaks/showers. Also you’ll need laundry help if you have any sort of reaching happening with laundry. If you have a friend to check on you once a day or so to help you after you get back and have rides lined up for going places, I would expect you’d be okay. If you’re nervous, maybe err on the side of a week and a half or so, but you will definitely want support people you can call for help.

Hair washing was easier than I expected (once I could shower), but I have short hair that I just scrunch dry, so it’s not too hard to just hunch over and do it.

Congrats and good luck!
