Hi Candie I was on my own post op and managed fine, only snag I had was when I wanted something from the shops and my son was too grumpy to go the short drive to get it as he was working nights, other than that I did everything myself. If you get the chance to be pampered for a few days I would go for it though lol..xx

I couldn't have coped alone for the first few days. Mostly because bending down is not allowed, so if you drop anything etc, you're scuppered! You won't need much actual care, but you might find it helpful to have someone help you with making meals/drinks etc, and doing housework. Luckily my mother hired a cleaner for me for 8 sessions post op

After the first few days, you should be fine.
