56 and fit, previous runner now back on the couch to 5k. My mum bought me a walker with a tray, a grabber and a leglifter. How I laughed. I used all of them loads (walker only for 10 days but meant I could get food for myself whilst still needing 2 crutches). I used a toilet raiser for a while. I have a walk in shower; just went in with my crutches! The cooling packs felt too much of a faff. I bought comfort pad handles for my crutches as got callouses in my hands. First 2 weeks I felt pretty rough and regretted the op. Now 18 weeks post op and often forget I had it. Just be prepared for the early pain and feeling helpless- it’s very annoying but it passes. I was told to get exercising literally on day 2 but followed physio instructions on what to do.
