One thing I hope they tell you is after surgery begin taking 2 extra strength Tylenol every six hours. When the long acting lidocaine from surgery wears off (day 4 usually) you will definitely feel it and it will be excruciating if you don’t have Tylenol on board. Get a cup with a straw for water and drink lots of water. You will feel okay those first few days but don’t overdo it or you’ll risk complications. No lifting over 10 pounds and remember that bottom freezer drawers often weigh much more than that. Consider setting up a meal train for yourself at meal train.org for friends to bring you meals or send gift cards for DoorDash. I had prepped some meals and froze them but I couldn’t get them myself out of the freezer so my kids still had to prepare those especially since my microwave is a range one. Loose fitting pants a must because you’ll have difficulty pulling them down for bathroom breaks. Counter height everything ahead of time and get yourself a mastectomy wearable pillow on Amazon it has padding in the right places and pockets for remotes, phone, thermometer, etc. extra pillows for the ride home as you may feel every bump. Have a neighbor or friend stop by or call to check in on you. Drink lots of water. Be well 🙂
