Hello,

 

After a day or two at the hospital were you ok to be at home alone ? I am not sure I have anyone that can be there at the time my surgery is. I will have a ride but no one at home.

Hello, Brandy. I had to be home alone the 3rd day after I got home. I would not recommend being home by yourself, however it can be done. See if a friend can come sit with you for a few hours or so.

I was at home alone after the first few days.  I was able to get up and walk around and fend for myself, so unless you have serious complications you should be okay.   I do have a hubby and 2 kids but both kids were either at school or at the sitter and hubby went to work.

I work at a desk job, and I have flexibility, so keep that in mind.

I had my surgery on Monday the 16th, and came back to work on Tuesday the 24th. I have worked lighter hours so far - maybe 5 hours a day. I'm tired when I get home and I take a nap on the couch LOL, but I'm doing OK. I think it's almost good to get out of the house and back to a more regular schedule as soon as you can without pushing yourself too much.

 Hi :) I was home alone the day after I got back from the hospital and I did okay. I agree everyone is different but as long as you can get up and walk and go to the bathroom you should be fine. Might be a good idea to have someone on stand by just to make sure though.

I live alone, and had no problem with no one there with me after surgery.  I have friends and family that were close by, and a friend did come over to check on me and walk me around the block.  Other then that, I was on my own and did very well.  I did not have any complications or much pain, so it was easy.  Everyone is different, so it is good to have a plan in case you need to have someone there, and then not activate the plan if you don't need the help.

I stayed with my Mom for 3 days after surgery because she insisted, but I'm sure I would've done just fine at home alone.  I didn't go back to work for 3 weeks, though.  (Best three weeks off I ever had!)
