Hope you have high handi toilets, makes it easier and less pain to sit.
Have a comfy recliner, I spent the first 4 days in it, all day and night. I used a walker for the first week, cane for the second and part of the third week and been mobile without aid since.
Ice packs on my quad were great pain relievers too.
