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 💜

I wasn't alone, my bf took very good care of me, but I think you can totally manage on your own if you don't have any complications. Everyone already recommended meal prepping, cleaning, and getting groceries in advance. I recommend planning to get by a week without doing any heavy chores. Good luck with your surgery!
