What Breast Reduction post op recovery/ aftercare would you suggest for someone who lives alone?

Just about every review I've read regarding post op, the ladies have had help (spouse, family, roomate etc). I live alone & am curious as to how I would fare on my own. I have no family in the same city as me. I have friends that could drive me to the facility & take me home after, but none that I care to know what kind of surgery I had. It probably sounds weird but I'm just a really private person. Would I be able to care for myself or would I need to be monitored for the first few hours/days?
