Hi @Lindylou55
Welcome to the Online Community - you have a TKR next week and want to prep.
Here is some info which I hope will help Knee replacement surgery | Treatment options | Versus Arthritis there is info about preparing and recovery.
We also have a great surgery toolkit which helps with exercises pre and post surgery to help recovery:-
I think some of your questions will be answered by your surgeon as sometimes in person specific. We normally say to prepare meals and pop things in the freezer so it makes things easier when you get home.
Hope all goes well and keep us posted.
Best wishes
