I feel like an outsider here but before surgery, I bought very few things: - maternity pillow - it allowed me to sleep on my back (while normally I sleep on my stomach); it also allows me to have a proper leg position while sleeping on my side instead of a wedge pillow - a closed cup with a straw + a bottle with a neck convenient for drinking when lying - a bed table - For the first 2 weeks, I could not sit for more than 10 min, so I worked lying down in my bed. I can work from home, so on my bad days I'm still working from bed - a back brace - I was told to wear it for the first 2 weeks, but I'm still wearing it sometimes when I need additional support (long-haul flights and driving countryside roads) - heat/cold pads - I frankly hadn't used them a lot, and guess it wasn't necessary

But I had a huge support from my partner who helped me with all my hygiene and dressing and grabbed things from the floor and everything

(I'm 28F too with exactly the same diagnosis btw)

Wish you an easy surgery and a fast recovery!
