Three things I forgot to add, the first is I'd highly recommend buying a good quality brace if you can. The one she got is carbon fibre and has adjustable limiters so she can set it to stop her movement exactly where the wants it. It was something like $800 which seems expensive but compared to going through the surgery and recovery again we figured it was well worth it. There were less expensive options too, they were a bit heavier but also very solid.

Second is find a good physio, even if you can't go very often it's good to have someone assessing your recovery and giving you exercises to do. It's tempting to slack off on the exercises but do your best to stay on top of them.

Last is transport, I think for the first 2 or so weeks back at work I was driving her (she had her right knee done though). If you've got a low car or a standard it'll take you longer so if you've got access to something higher like an SUV or a van then try to borrow that.
