Hi!!!
I have acl surgery scheduled in 2weeks and I’m start to prep myself (mentally and logistically) since it’ll be one of my friends helping me recover (not living with family)
I’m putting together a list of things I may need after the surgery – so far I have post-surgery snacks…are there any other items I should have on hand? maybe I should subscribe to netflix to pass my time haha.
Please share any post surgery tips n tricks! This is all new to me so I really appreciate any advice. Hoping to make my friend’s job of nursing me back to health a little easier 😅 TIA!
Hi Yong Quan, As a knee surgeon, I’ve seen my fair share of post-op patients. A few things I would recommend adding to your care package for post-op:
Remember to follow post-op instructions from your surgeon and physical therapist, especially rehab exercises, to enhance your healing journey. Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Feel free to reach out to me if any other questions come up, and all the best for your upcoming surgery.
