Pre-op Prep
Great, so you have your surgery scheduled. Now preparation is key!
Let’s prepare your space so when you come home from surgery you can focus solely on healing. Have you thought about all the items you will need when you get home? Do you know what items you might benefit from and where to rent them from? Maybe a new furniture layout for a safer environment? Or questions on different movement patterns to help your post recovery process?
We can review ways to prepare for your surgery so you’re not scrambling on that first week back.
I can also help read medical documents that can seem confusing and help you write up a list of questions for your doctor so you get all your answers met.
Post-op Support
You want your recovery experience to be filled with comfort and care.
This will include home visits or video calls and I can be the support you need after surgery.
Naturally, questions will arise. Often times anxieties do too. Instead of sitting with all of them wondering, is this normal, ask away! Especially ask the ones that you feel silly about asking. A lot of questions stem from not knowing what is normal, wondering if certain movements are safe for the post op time frame you are in, and the fear that creeps in when you’re trying to be mentally tough. The better your mind feels, the better your body will heal.
Each person’s recovery process will be entirely different. We will review your post op precautions and protocol, work together to make sure you are doing everything possible to ensure the best recovery journey, and do this by observing you and your unique needs.
