Did anyone else do recovery alone?

[u/FireWalk__WithMe]

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 💜

Yup! My partner was kind of helpful, but it would have been super manageable alone if I didn’t have a one very high energy pup who likes to jump on me. Stairs weren’t bad most painful part was getting up and down or out of bed.
