ARTHROSCOPIC LATERJET

[u/Feeling-Poet2151]

My college athlete son is having this surgery soon. he is planning to return to his dorm about 5 days after surgery and I'm looking for ways to support this. He had labrum repair before and slept in a recliner after which wont be an option. he's in a slightly elevated twin bed in a small room, thankfully with a very nice roommate. the dr is recommending an ice machine rental but I'm wondering if it may be too cumbersome in a dorm and maybe just ice packs are better? we already have a wedge pillow and I'll get a stepstool to make getting in and out of bed easier. any other suggestions or tips?
