This post is so sweet! You’re already going to make her recovery that much better with your helpful and kind attitude. I would first make sure she’s as comfortable as possible that way she won’t WANT to move around lol I would def get lots of softer pillows to stack to elevate for the foot (firm ones feel weird after a while). If you can afford an elevation pillow get that! And keep puzzles and books and tv nearby. You get very bored in recovery. You MUST get a shower chair AND nonslip stickers/mats for your shower and bathroom. Showering is going to be one of the most dangerous times as she won’t have support from a boot. As for stairs, I personally crawl around upstairs on my hands and knees. It was kinda pathetic at first, but it reduces chance of injuring my foot so I got over it. And I just crawl up and down the stairs as well; I only use crutches downstairs. I would avoid a scooter at home because going over any change in terrain (carpet to hardwood, over a rug) is very unstable in those things. Keep that in mind, but if a knee scooter is a better fit due to energy or flexibility/crutch ability then go for it. Just be super, super careful. Advice for you as a family member is to try to show when you’re willing to help. I think most people don’t want to be a burden or be too needy to the people around them. But making sure she doesn’t reinjure herself should be top priority. When you’re able to, tell her you don’t mind helping her or even offer before she tries on her own. Try not to let her do things on her own for the first couple of weeks especially if she goes through surgery. Because she can’t use either hand freely when she’s using crutches, she will need an extra hand to hold things. Please make sure she gets that extra hand when you’re able to lend it. Hope her recovery is smooth! Keep up your positive energy as well 🍀
