[quote=Anonymous]My mom has had both knees replaced. She could do stairs as soon as she came home. Ideally you have access to a bathroom on the main floor so you don’t have to go up and down a lot, but my mom went upstairs to bed the first day she was home. The shower/ bath might not need to be priority #1 because she’s likely not allowed to get the incision wet until the stitches and/or staples come out. So she may be washing at a sink for a few weeks. Definitely invest in a raised toilet seat, maybe two if she will use bathrooms on different floors. A walker and a cane are also good to have. They might provide one or the other for her, so maybe wait to buy those. Comfy shoes she can slip in and out of are important. By slip in I don’t mean clogs, but sneakers or shoe like slippers that don’t require laces are good. [/quote]
