Covered during recovery?

[Scythe13]

Hi Everyone

This post is more towards the lone wolf style prepper, but as I'm sure you'll all have ideas (please share as I'm a bit lost with this one) keep reading.

Something happens post SHTF. You've managed to break your arm. Clean break, not life threatening, but you're not much use around the house, so to speak.

Well, here's where it get's fun, if something happened to your OH, or your compound was under attack, or something like that. Let's say you have to perform minor surgery on someone near you, or you need to sleep and as a result have no defences around, what would you do?

Would you be able to wash yourself properly when going through a vicious flu, or something like that? Is there medication to help stop the dizziness and disorientation, to the point where you could function at a semi-decent level?

I never get ill, and although I do get injured, I always manage to recover or perform my own surgery (not recommended as it leads to infections about 30% of the time, which I then use boiling water, or a needle and antiseptic to sort out, which isn't always effective, trip to the doctor to finalise those I can't sort out). But as I expect something to happen when I'm older, I can't rely on my immune system, and nor can anyone else rely on theirs, because we'll possibly be under nourished, dehydrated, and the alike by then, so immune systems will be down anyway.

The reason I'm asking the lone wolves mainly, is because I see this issue as a major flaw in being a lone wolf, unless there is something I'm totally missing as a way to sort this issue out.
