Achilles tendon repair surgery is no joke. Many people are surprised to hear how long the recovery is. The needs in the first weeks are very similar to the needs of supporting a mom who has given birth. Here are some ways to offer support:

• Bring a meal (better yet, help arrange a meal train using something like sign-up genius)
• Bring in their mail
• Bring a returns package to the shipment store
• Fill up their water bottle and make sure they have what they need where they are resting
• Pick up prescriptions at the pharmacist for them
• Text when going to store to see if you can pick up anything
• Drive them to appointments
• Relieve them of caretaker duties if they’re a parent
• Help care for any pets (feed, walk a dog, scoop litter etc…)
• Take out the garbage and recycling
• Do the dishes and support other housekeeping tasks
