Question Pre-Op Preparedness

I am about 3 weeks out from having cervical/1st rib resection, scalenectomy, and pec minor tenotomy. I am a mother with three kids age range 6 - 11. Any advice on what I can do in advance of the surgery to make life more smooth after?

More Specific questions would be:

How much immediate help will I need. Am I ok with being alone for several hours in the first week?

What nutrition seemed to help? Arnica, Vit C, E, D? Glutamate? Gelatin? Tryptophan? Reduced Sugar Intake?

What exercises help the most?

Clothing suggestions? Button-downs, pull-up pants, front-closure bras? Anything that you really liked having?

Essential Durable Medical Goods or props that really helped?

Tips with handling kids?

Thanks very much
