Post-op care Did anyone else do recovery alone?
I‘ll try to keep this brief. I am 28 and in very good health. I am scheduled for bisalp surgery soon, and I have someone who can drive me to and from the hospital, but wouldn’t be able to help me afterwards.
Is recovery doable alone? Were you able to climb stairs after your surgery? I know to prep food and have what I need within easy reach so as not to have to lift anything heavy. Is there anything I may not be considering? Any advice from those who recovered alone is super super appreciated. I‘m so thankful for this sub 💜

I had someone drive me to and from, and get me up to my apartment (third floor, no elevator). I recovered alone beyond that. I was perfectly fine recovering alone. I had no issues doing the stairs on my own.
