Everyday movements need some care in the first weeks: getting in and out of a chair, a bed or a car, using the toilet, and putting on socks, shoes and trousers.
Many people find a firm, higher chair easier than a low, soft sofa. Aids such as a long-handled shoehorn, a reaching tool or a raised toilet seat are often offered, and they can make this period easier.
Your surgical team or physiotherapist will tell you how to do these movements in your case, and for how long. Follow their advice, because it depends on your operation. If nobody has shown you, ask.
Do not stay in one position for too long. Get up and walk a little every hour or so during the day.
