@vickimartin you will need help for the first two weeks after leaving hospital. Likely you will be on a nasal feeding tube, which requires your meds to be crushed and diluted with water, followed by insertion into the feed line.
Help with bathroom, bathing, and general getting around is also important. If you have no one, there are facilities you can go to that will get you through. Check with your surgery team. They should set this up for you.
Hospital stay is usually four to seven days. I wouldn’t be in a rush to get away from that level of care. Often a swallow test and walking/stairs test is required prior to home care.
