@tra418 , the only other things I can think of are 1) soft toilet paper; and 2) an easy way to get in and out of bed. There will be some abdominal pain afterward from the surgery, and some fatigue requiring naps. If your bed/sofas are to high or too low and require effort to get into or out of, it's an extra bit of burden to avoid. You don't want to risk tearing stitches or anything like that. Best of luck!
