Just had ACL & meniscus surgery almost 2 weeks ago. My main non-negotiables were the ice machine and a long strap to help me lift my leg (on/off the bed, getting dressed, and just everything in general). Bought this one on Amazon: https://a.co/d/07s6aKBL Shower chair was also a must since I am NWB for a few weeks. I know some people do a rolling cart to help them move stuff around too, which I didn’t really need since I have family helping. Good luck with the surgery & recovery!
I have horrible back pain from a really bad car accident. I would recommend a band like this that doesn't strech (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WVC526G?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_6&th=1) and stretch out your quads because those muscles are typically tight and pulling on your back muscles. You can also have someone push your leg towards you while laying on the floor to help with the stretch something along these lines (https://youtu.be/GiUU2ulK5pY?si=TLF1db7-0MqUS85l). I normally ask my daughter to help.
