Your doctor will provide you with an at-home recovery plan based on your unique situation and the type of operation, but there are some key factors that aid in successful recovery:
- Taking any necessary medications as directed
- Completing physiotherapy or rehabilitation if needed
- Getting proper rest and reducing any stressors in environment like housekeeping, grocery shopping, and meal preparation
- Making modifications to your home as needed, such as adding support bars in the bathroom
- Not attempting to move about too quickly, especially for surgeries that limit mobility
- Having support from a caregiver who can assist you with day-to-day activities
