Post surgery meds

**disclaimer: I will be reaching out to my nephrology team, so this is not me looking for medical advice on Reddit. I'm just curious to hear about what others have experienced.**

I'm 31F and 9 months post donation. Unfortunately I'm getting ready to undergo a beast of a knee surgery (osteochondral allograft) sometime in the next six months.

Anyone undergo a surgery after donating? What did they prescribe for blood thinners and pain meds? Did you take NSAIDs at all?

My ortho said he normally has his patients take baby aspirin for a blood thinner as this particular surgery keeps you pretty immobile (NWB) for 6-8 weeks. I'm assuming that's not going to work for me.
