@jane2024 - I had double mastectomy and in prep I moved all the items I'd need for at least the next week to shelves that I could reach without raising my arms above my shoulders. I also made a pillow that prevented me from rolling over and spent the first couple nights sleeping in a recliner as it was extremely difficult to get out of bed after the surgery. I got myself plenty of shirts that were front closure and very loose fitting. I also found a way to pin the drains into the shirt. There are a number of people that have You Tube videos that explain their prep or things they wish they new before double mastectomy that I used in prep for the surgery.
