I sewed pockets inside my button front blouses to keep the drains and bought zip front sports bras to keep swelling down. I slept on recliner for a whole week until the drains were removed. I couldn't sleep on the side for a few months. Anything that you need, put them down on the counter because you are not allowed to raised your arms for a while. You will need help for at least 2 weeks before you can function on your own. It took me more than 8 weeks to feel normal again due to a large hematoma. My sister, on the other hand, had no complication. She sailed through the surgery like nothing happened and I mean that literally. She even tried to clean the house the next day! Of course I didn't let her. She didn't have to go to physical therapy to get her range on motion back. Good luck with your surgery. Please come back to let us know how it goes. Hugs.
