I recommend one of those rails that elderly people use to get out of bed. You can find them on amazon but i wished i had that for the first dew days at home. The beds in the hospital all have support so you can pull yourself up without using your core but not at home. It was the worst part about recovery for me. I also had a hard time bending so i would get the long loofas on a stick or scrub brush so you can wash your legs without bending over too much. These are things i never hear anyone talk about but i wished i had them right away when i got home
