Preparing your home in advance is essential to support a smooth recovery process. Here's how you can set up a restful and convenient recovery space.

Why Prepare Your Home?

Your recovery environment plays a significant role in your overall comfort and healing. Setting up your home for recovery allows you to focus on rest and avoid unnecessary strain.

Thoughtful preparation ensures you have everything within easy reach, helping you stay relaxed and focused on healing.

Key Tips for a Comfortable Recovery

To make your recovery as smooth as possible, consider these practical steps:

• Create a Restful Space: Create a cozy area with pillows, blankets, and a recliner or adjustable bed. This can also include "off-loading" children or recovering in a separate location, for a time.
• Stock Up on Essentials: Have items like books, magazines, or streaming options available to keep you entertained.
• Fill Prescriptions Ahead of Time: Fill all prescriptions and ensure they're in easy reach.
• Prepare Healthy Meals: Cook and freeze easy-to-heat meals or arrange for meal delivery services.
• Plan for Assistance: Arrange for a friend or family member to help with daily tasks during the first few days.
• Stay Hydrated: Keep water bottles or dispensers near your recovery space.

Lifestyle Adjustments to Support Healing

In addition to prepping your home, there are some lifestyle changes to consider before your surgery:

• Quit smoking at least six weeks before your procedure and continue avoiding it for four weeks after. Smoking can slow healing and increase risks.
• Discuss any medications, supplements, or herbs with Dr. Corey to determine which are safe to continue.
• Follow all pre-surgery instructions during your planning phase to ensure your body is ready for recovery.
