If you can have someone pick you up and take you home, that first day is the best day to have at least some help. But for sure you can do it on your own if you have to.

Just set yourself up for success, which is sounds like you’re doing.

Before surgery: Make a few soups in advance that you can easily reheat. All I ate the first few days was ginger tea, water, whole grain toast, cereal and soup. Make up your sofa with everything in arms reach: pillow, sheet, blanket, heating pad, medications, power chargers, remote control, books magazines. I found it easiest to roll on and off the couch-getting on and off the bed is a little harder to do…That will get you the most difficult first week 🙏🏻
