@avs, It is a smart approach to any surgery to look ahead and try to prepare your living space for your recovery. You may notice I edited the title slightly to "Useful devices for everyday life following surgery." You bring up a good topic about how to prepare your living space for your recovery after surgery.

These are some pretty good suggestions from @roxxxy2626, @shawndm, and @nrb1942 - do any of you have any other devices or items that were helpful for everyday tasks after surgery?

@avs, getting in and out of the shower is another area in the bathroom where you may need to careful as well, have you considered anything for this task as well?

Walker, cane for later, shower seat, toilet riser and if you can manage it, a ice machine is beyond helpful. It's not a must have but a definite game changer. If not, have lots of ice to make bags. I cannot express enough, ice is essential for awhile.
