I am NOT a doctor, so please understand that these are only my recommendations from personal experience and that this is not medical advice. I was actually very prepared for this surgery as I had a few friends that had done this same surgery with my same doctors. You can see my bedside table included water, some crackers and a few other items. Recovery wasn’t easy, but the items that I had to help made it bearable. I kept a table next to me so I could easily access prescriptions, snacks and anything else I needed. I had a walker to move around when I needed to use the restroom or get up to move. You can see that I lived in a recliner, supported by pillows. No shame folks, that was some major surgery for some major results. This was me, where I lived, how I got around and what life looked like. My husband took this picture of me about 5 days into recovery. This is easily the longest recovery I have ever had and I remember at 5 weeks, still dealing with the exhaustion and need to sleep more often than not.
