I had two weeks exactly to prepare for my operation and its after-effects. I talked to friends about helping to get the children to and from school. I filled our freezer with food. I spent a lot of time on the internet trying to find some equipment.
After some research, I decided that I would need:
a leg rest pillow
a foot stool
a leg caddy (more in a minute)
a wheelchair (one was offered that we could borrow)
a shower stool
a disabled toilet seat (lifts you up so its easier to get up)
a frame to go round the toilet
The leg caddy I came across in some of the forums. It is a bit like a knee scooter and it allows you to move around so much more easily than on crutches, and if you hire a basket, then you can carry things too. In the UK they are available to hire as well as to buy and I chose to hire mine.
