My CTS is scheduled for next Tuesday. I’ve had the condition for several years, and of course it’s gotten worse over time, so I am expecting a transposition. I’m super conserved about the post-op situation and how to cope.
I’m 73 and live alone. Fortunately my daughter will come stay with me for a few days, but after that I’m on my own.

Does anyone have advice/ tips and tricks about how to live life with one arm ? Like how to pull on pants, get dressed in general, deal with food prep, open bags and bottles, etc. (I imagine I’ll be braless for some weeks. )

I’m more worried about this than I was for my open heart surgery 7 years ago! ( I had a friend staying with me then)

Any advice is welcome…
