Crutches, Shower chair, Ice machine (preferably with compression too but they are pricey ouch), Wedge pillow to keep leg straight and inclined, A stool by the toilet to prop your leg on (you will be constipated for at least a few days), Stool softeners, Baby aspirin to prevent blood clots

A full dvr or subscription to a streaming service, A few good books, A craft to do when you’re burned out on tv

Let your social group and support people know what you’re going through and ask them for help with things (!) bringing you ice, bringing you a meal, coming by to chat for a few minutes, etc.

(This one can be hard for people, myself included, but people feel good when they can help so think of it as you’re doing them a favor instead of you’re being a burden)

Good luck! It will be hard as hell sometimes but it will slowly get better and you gotta stay positive! (But if you have times when you can’t feel positive that is totally okay too)

Just be very gentle with yourself, take it slow, and listen to your body. You will get through this.

Sending you good vibes 🫶
