PLAN AHEAD WHEN A SPEEDIER RECOVERY IS NEEDED FOLLOWING SURGERY By Jennifer Harvey RN BSN CDP Clinical Director Live Free Home Health Care “The Preferred Home Care Provider for Taylor Communities” The transition from hospital to home following a planned surgery is a tenuous time, whether the surgery is for a hip replacement, knee surgery, plastic surgery or for any other reason. It's difficult to know at what level you will function or how long it will take to recover and return to normal activities, so it's important to plan ahead, before your scheduled surgery date, and consider what you'll need to make life easier once you're home, and what will add to a speedier recovery.

Many people assume that their doctors or hospital discharge planners will tell them everything they need to know about how to care for themselves at home. Unfortunately, that isn't usually the case. Prepare yourself for a smooth transition from hospital to home by getting answers to these questions prior to your surgery:

• Who will pick up my prescriptions? Will I need to rely on a relative for this task? Will he or she be available when I need a refill? • Who will answer questions I may have about the medications? Should I contact my doctor, the pharmacist, or does the hospital have someone else for me to contact with questions regarding my care? • What phone numbers do I need to have on hand? • What kind of medical equipment might I need (such as a walker, crutches, or telehealth devices), and who will provide them? • What kinds of tasks might be difficult for me perform once I return home given the nature of my surgery? (Ex. bathing, dressing, climbing stairs, picking up prescription drugs, cooking, shopping, driving, etc.) • What activities are not recommended following surgery? How long should I abstain from these activities? • What signs or symptoms should I watch for that might indicate a problem during recovery? • Do I need someone present in the home, or will I be safe left alone for extended time periods? • Will my medications cause drowsiness or confusion?
