Cross posted w monohearing: fiance is getting surgery on Friday for his VS and I want to know all the things I can do to make his recovery better

Hi everyone, title pretty much covers it - I know this isn’t just for VS-havers, but after his surgery, he will very likely be completely deaf in his right side and will need cros hearing aids. If anyone in here has had the surgery, what was recovery like? What helped you heal better; or feel better? I’m talking all the details - down to maybe if crunchy food made you feel dizzy. I want to give him the best care I can and I’m freakin out 😅🩷

I do know he needs a button down shirt after surgery but that’s about it. Eye cover for the car ride home? Hat for some pressure? Let me know!!!
