Here are some tips that worked for me: first, clear a path through the house in the areas you need to walk through. Remove area rugs, move furniture if necessary, so that you can easily navigate with a walker. When you choose a walker, make sure it is sized correctly - not much wider than your body, and with 2 wheels which should NOT swivel. Also have a crutch or a cane handy. I spent 2 nights in the hospital, learning to use the walker, and then needed it for another 3 days at home. After that, crutch for perhaps a week, then cane for when the knee was tired and aching. It helps if you have one of those higher toilets, or have some support to get down and up. I used our smallest bathroom where I could hold on to the vanity to ease myself down. The hospital will probably give you an icepack, and I suggest to get a yoga mat for when you start doing your knee exercises. Some people do them on the bed or a couch, but that tends to put extra pressure on your back. Floor is preferable, in my opinion. Otherwise, I can’t think of any special equipment you could need. Within a week you should be able to walk for short periods without any device. Good luck!
