I cooked double quantities of food for the few weeks leading up to surgery and froze half, so that I had homemade food ready without any hassle. I also bought elasticated trousers and wore slip on shoes. I typed instead of wrote, as it was my writing hand that was out of action and like Paula I used a plastic bag over my hand in the shower.

To be honest, the worst thing I found to do (apart from doing up my bra) was putting on deodorant.

I am fortunate in that I have a very good husband who helped me a lot. I'm scheduled for surgery on my left hand on the 15th December, so I'm going to be relying on him again soon.

Good luck on Friday.
