b'Going Home When you arrive at home, walk slowly from the car into the house. Be careful navigating stairs and steps. Keep nightlights on. Keep floor space clear from objects, shoes, or loose carpet edges. If you have a dog that might jump up, or a cat that likes to be at your feet, keep it in a bedroom until you are seated. Make sure you eat a balanced diet. Protein will help you with the healing process. Drink plenty of fluids and eat fruits and vegetables, which help promote bowel movements. oConstipation is very common due to pain medications and reduced activity levels.
