You know you need to sleep upright for awhile right? Even if its in bed ...use Tons of pillows to keep propped up ... and use your legs to push yourself up from a sitting position.... not your arms... practice.. harder than you think  Also have a pad and pen handy to write down the times you take the meds cuz you will forget if you dont..
adding.. Wet wipes for the bathroom are a god send ...keep things where you dont have to stretch and reach for them too..

I agree with the not pulling up with your arms did this by accident yesterday cuz DH shocked himself putting up a ceiling fan and I freaked out not even thinking about it pushed myself up with my arms EEKKK scared myself lol
Also if you are going to be wearing a bra of any type make sure you get something to put between the bra and incision cuz it will rub against there and irritate it enough to drive ya nuts! Have all your med bottles partially open so you dont have to try to open them. Ummm thats all I can think of right now lol If ya have any Qs feel free to ask
