How to recover from bilateral breast reduction surgery living alone?

I wonder if a wedge would help so you aren’t flat abd less distance to push up

I have an adjustable bed and thought that would be enough. I think I know where a wedge is at my dad’s. However probably should consider a new one for sanitary reasons. Thank you.

Hi, Angela, a wedge pillow definitely helps a lot! I used one for about 7-8 weeks after my mastectomy. It made getting up from the bed easier and the angle of the wedge made being on the bed more comfortable for me.

Recovery from bilateral breast reduction while living alone can definitely be challenging, but there are several helpful strategies that can make this more manageable. Consider getting a bed wedge or extra pillows to help you sleep more upright, using a grabber tool for reaching items, placing essential items at waist level, and having easy-to-prepare meals ready - many community members have found these adjustments really helpful during their recovery period.
