Surgery question

[aleon515]

What do guys do if they have nobody to help them with top surgery? I understand for the first day or so you have very limited use of your hands. This is awfully personal for anything but a close family member. But not everyone has one of those. This is the case for me, I mean I have a sister who will definitely not be happy about this whole thing when I tell her.

You could post around a few months in advance looking for a person in the area who would be willing to help you for a fee.

Well that did occur to me, we have a trans center here so I could put out an ad. I am just thinking about it right now. Wonder if other people have been in the same situation.

You can also hire a nurse from one of many agencies to stay with you for a portion of your recover(at least until you have your drains removed).

it definetly helps to have someone. i put most everything i needed at waist level before hand, so i could've managed without my parents. my biggest problem was light switches and light chains hanging from fans. cant do much about those

I would turn on and off the lights with my forehead for a couple days :p so that's doable on your own too, you learn alternate ways of doing things really fast.
