I'm having my RTHR in October. I'm getting my house as ready as possible. I'll have someone with me 24/7 for at least the first two weeks but after that I will be on my own with only Home Health and the PT coming in on whatever schedule it is that they set up. I do plan on hiring someone to come in once or twice a week to help me with minor stuff like laundry, dishes, vacuuming etc.
I am going to purchase all that stuff that they recommend like the reacher, the long handled sponge for the bath, the sock thing, the dressing stick, the toilet seat extender :hehe:, and a bathtub seat. Plus I will be moving some stuff around in my house to make things I need at arms' level.
Can you guys suggest other things I should do or things you found helpful for post surgery recuperation at home?
I would really appreciate all your tips and bits of wisdom! Thanks!!
