Dog CCL surgery

My dog is going for surgery on Wednesday for a CCL surgery- the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy procedure. I understand he's going to be fairly immobile for about 2 weeks, and then gradually gaining mobility after that.

Im wondering if anyone has experience with this? Any tips or ideas for making it easier.

Spencer is 8, about 28kgs. We postponed surgery by a week as he had a bad case of gastroenteritis. He's recovered well. He generally sleeps upstairs with us, but we are planning on crating him overnight to restrict movement. We can close off staircases up/down, but have two rooms with step downs into them, and no real way to close them off. Will that one step down/up cause issues?

Its been a rough few months for all of us, my mum passed away and then her dog. Both of them lived with us. Spencer hasn't been walked since January because of the knee injury so while doing better than expected, I'm worried about him with more pain and immobility.
