General tips for recovery:
  • Plan ahead by visualising the effects of surgery on one's body and lifestyle, and practise coping methods.

  • If unable to drive, familiarise yourself with public transport use.

  • If unable to sleep as usual, obtain the sleeping aids and/or accustom yourself to the positions.

  • If unable to lift items over a particular weight, have a couple of days' advance practice of not lifting to see what lifestyle changes will be needed during recovery.

  • Stick some adhesive tape over the affected body parts, to see how restricted body movements will be from pain or wound healing.

  • If specific senses will be impaired, e.g. unable to see, hear, etc., try getting about without relying on those senses.
