I will be thinking of you. You will want to get as much done as your body will allow today. By day 7, post accident I could not do much. I used a private pay in home care agency one day a week for 7 weeks to help with light housekeeping, laundry and meal prep. I also had my daughter put my clothes and undergarments in a cloth box on my dresser. You will not be bending down or putting your foot on the floor for a ling time. You will need a shower chair and I used suctioned cup type grab bars in the shower. I needed help getting the brace off and putting it back on. I only took the brace off to shower. My surgeon had me start PT at 2 weeks. It was not much, yet I had the peace of mind that everything was healing okay.
