Here are my suggestions if you are going to do this on your own (or even with help).

  1. The first 3 days you will be on meds every 2 hours around the clock. You cannot skip a single dose (even the 2 am ones!) or else you won’t be able to stay on top of the pain and spasms. You need to have an alarm set every 2 hours and have food on hand to take with the meds every time or else you will be nauseous and throwing up - which is the last thing you need. Therefore keep healthy food next to your meds and do it religiously.

  2. Get a raised toilet seat cover (Amazon for like $25). You won’t have someone to help you with the bathroom so this will be a lifesaver. (This is the one I bought - having the higher seat and the arms will make all the difference in the world - trust me!) raised toilet seat . It’s not just for going to the bathroom either, I found it to be the only right height for trying to change my clothes and undergarments so it becomes the only spot you can sit to stand reasonably well the first few days.

  3. If you have stairs to get into your apartment - line up a neighbor to help you get up them the first time after surgery. It’s very hard to do (but doable!) because your leg is braced completely straight - but the main issue is you will still be half out of it from the surgery anesthesia so you will have about 25% of your actual physical control as you do now on crutches. It will be impossible to do alone so ask the Uber driver or a neighbor to help. Trust me, anyone is willing to help if you ask for something like this even if you don’t know them yet.

  4. Talk to the hospital ahead of time - most will not discharge you (legally) unless someone is there with you to take you home. If you absolutely must take an Uber and not have someone you will need to get pre approval from the hospital or else they may not legally allow it.
