Hi, I am due to have mitral valve repair next week and am concentrating mostly on practical things I will need - so my questions are: how easy is it to get dressed once you're home? I've got a good supply of button up tops so arms don't need to go overhead but will I be able to bend to pull up trousers or trackies?Also, I've got an over bath shower only - will it be hard to get into it? I gather I shouldn't be using my arms to hold onto anything. Thank you
