First Fusion Coming Up, I Have Questions
So I (female, mid-30s) am scheduled for my first fusion in a little over a month. It'll be at L5-S1. I'm really nervous about it because my apartment is not ideally set up for this - there's only one bathroom, on the second floor, so I'll either be having to do stairs multiple times per day or stay in my bedroom almost all the time. I've gotten conflicting information about whether that will be an issue, since my recliner and the TV are on the first floor. I could definitely use some advice on what to do about this!
I also have the following items either purchased or scheduled to be purchased. Is there anything I might be missing?
- loofah on a stick
- shower chair
- hand held shower wand
- back scratcher (for legs)
- grabbing stick
- slip-on shoes, shoe horn, sock aid, and all the loose comfortable clothing I could need
- toilet seat riser
- bidet
- walker and cane
- Wedge pillow and body pillow, plus a bajillion regular pillows as needed
- temporary grab bar for shower balance
I just can't help but feel that I'm missing something or that I'm going to be in a less than ideal situation for recovery. Luckily I don't live alone, though.
