Alone After Surgery

[Stephanie12579 12]

I had people available if necessary but thankfully it was not necessary, I was able to get up and do for myself. I am married but he's a driver and was gone the day I came home from the hospital. I grocery shopped prior to and my Dr had given me all of my prescriptions 2 days prior to surgery so I was able to have them filled and ready to go. I found myself forcing myself to get up and move though I didn't want to, it helped! Keep your phone close for an emergency, be sure to be up and moving at least once an hour during waking hours and you should do great!!! You do have to be your own motivator here as to doing what the surgeon tells you even though you may not want to!

I'm single and was at the hospital alone. I felt well enough that I would have driven home but the hospital wouldn't allow it. Once home I was fine. I had virtually no pain. I was tired the first couple of weeks. You should do fine.
