If you live by yourself, you may also want to ask your surgeon about possibly sending you to a
nursing home/
rehab center for a short time following your next surgery to help you for a while. You're ability to do much of anythin gis going to compromised with the use of only one side and it may take a while for you to get used to it all. The nursing home/rehab center can help you with physical therapy, teaching you how to transfer from the wheelchair to the bed, tub, toilet, etc.
