Need some advice please.
I live alone and at my pre-op I was asked who would be looking after me when I got home. I said me and they were not happy with this. I do have a cleaner who comes in once a week, and could ask for a further visit, and I am guessing there is going to be little food prep or washing up in the first couple of weeks, and Tesco deliver so no shopping to do. Also friends will pop in occasionally.
Having had abdominal surgery before, both laprascopic and full cut I don't think I am going to need any help with personal care. I live in a small flat so don't have stairs to negotiate indoors.
What have other people's experiences been please? Do I need to arrange for social services?
Thanks.
