Now my wife has had surgery and is going to need help putting her carry-on in the overhead compartment. I'm sure she can ask a fellow passenger. Or should she mention the problem to the gate agent?

Thanks.
That's sad.

I usually lend a hand when the need calls for it. I recall one case where a woman recently had her tailbone (coccyx) removed, so I helped with a couple of carry-ons. Have also volunteered when someone is wheeling two large suitcases around the airport.
