Good luck! I have a quad MPFL reconstruction, tibia realignment, and some cartilage repair on the 26th! I'm nervous as hell. I've had knee problems for years now. I'll suggest some amazon purchases that will make your time in bed way way:
My butt gets so numb being bed ridden and sometimes it is hard to sleep through back pain when you can't lay on your side. The option to sleep upright is very relieving. Also, just have lots of pillows to tweak your positioning is extremely helpful.
Don't get non fleece ones because they are slippery
The folding chair will fit over the edge of the tub so someone can help you wash your hair when getting in the bath is too much. Then the stool will make it easier and more enjoyable to actually bathe when you can.
Also, don't be embarrassed to have to do things in really ridiculous ways. The last time I dislocated my knee I had a lot of pain and I couldn't be upright for a couple days without basically having a mental breakdown. I brushed my teeth in bed and would just spit water into a large Tupperware. Also, I kept a container of sanitary wipes when it was too much to get up and wash my hands for something like handling a cat treat or such. Sometimes instead of washing my face I would just use a toner and cotton pads I kept next to me. Lastly, the best advise is probably don't be afraid to ask for help!
I'd suggest a real ice wrap. The gel kind that can be used over and over. I have this one: Elasto Gel, Hot/Cold Wrap, 9 X 24, https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000S5GKHY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AiTyCbDBMSAER you have to use it a few times before it works 100%, but it's what my last physical therapy office uses.
If heat is her thing, nothing beats a decent heating pad. Get a really good one with several settings.
Don't shirk on PT. It suuuccckkssss.... but if you get a good PTist who works with you, it makes all the difference in the world. I had no idea when I was younger that I could request someone different if they didn't fit my style (I got a "drill sergeant", and I don't need to be pushed), so I ended up doing more harm than good by overtaxing myself, and being in pain all the time during recovery. I never really got better, and ultimately ended up doing more damage.
Best of luck to your mom. She's lucky to have you helping her.

Many insurance companies will pay for one… Mine did. But even if it doesn’t I cannot impress upon you how important it is to have one of these. It saved my life. When I got my knees replaced I actually had two one for each knee. You can always sell it afterwards on eBay to recoup some of your money.
