Practical

Appreciate all the forethought about getting the house ready to come home, what gear will be helpful, and what to think about regarding potential speed of recovery and return to a more active life.

Considering surgery book

Good for someone considering surgery, not for patients who are recovering. More of a general "what to expect" book than specific hints on how to recover.
