My ACL surgery prep

Some things that I did to prepare for surgery that really helped: 1.) I took time to buy shorts that could go out in public and be pajamas 2.) I bought shirts that matched skirts I already own and bought more long skirts 3.) I got my toenails painted and payed a little extra to get a design painted on them 4.) I made sure I got lots of workouts in, arm strength has been critical post surgery, quad strength is key to recovery 5.) I made arrangements for my mom to come into town 6.) I got ahead at work 7.) Came up with a plan to get up and down stairs since all of our bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs 8.) I had crutches at home already, but, I still asked for the crutches I would get from the surgery. This way I have crutches upstairs and downstairs. Since I have a rowdy dog, it has been a good plan to scoot myself upstairs and use only the handrails and arm strength to get down Some things that are fortunate I had: 1.) Flexibility to touch my toes (easier to get dressed when you can't bend your knee) 2.) Coordination with crutches Things that came into place: 1.) Bought a stool for the shower and Glad cling wrap.
