    I'm 7 weeks post op and this is what I have found to be the most helpful so far:

    Raised toilet seat
    grabbers
    haven't used the dressing stick yet , but I know I will
    sock aide
    I started using slippers about 3 weeks post op
    button down pajama tops
    no bra yet (tried once and started yelling "get it off!" lol)
    pillows
    adjustable bed has been me savior. I can't imagine doing this without it. I'm still constantly trying to get comfortable and it changes frequently
    Netflix
    bed tray so you can eat in bed
    STRAWS - it's hard to lift a cup to your lips, so straws are a necessity
    pillow for the car
    spoon to eat rice, etc


    Hope this helps!
