The ways to help a person after surgery are numerous. These are just 5 of the ones I use to assist others.
Walking a dog or caring for the needs of someones pet will help a person after they have had surgery. It will take all their energy to get themselves well and you can assist them with their animal care needs. Ask if the post operative person needs you to carry sacks of food or exactly what kind of pet care you can provide.
So often people need a visit to the doctor after they have had surgery. It is an effort to get dressed more or less drive themselves to the clinic or doctor office. Ask your friend what kind of travel help you can help them with after they have surgery.
Nutrition is so important after a surgical proceedure. Sometimes there is not enough energy to cook a balanced meal, which you can provide. Find out what dietary restrictions so you make the one dish meal according to the doctors orders.
Tell the church where the person attends regular services so they can call and help the person in their congregation that has just had surgery. Many churches have prayer groups to pray when they know someone is in need of spiritual support.
Right after surgery, there are many limitations that a person is bound by for a time. Ask if you can put the garbage from the house to the outside can every other day and then place the cans at the road side on pick up days. Offer your help to do any household duties the person might know to tell you that they cannot do themselves.
Great list. Great ideas for helping others.
