A member asked:
What should i do to assist in recovery/need to buy for my 70 year old mother who is having total hip replacement surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask her surgeon: How complicated the procedure is & her overall health, all determine how long she'll need to recover. Talk to her surgeon and get an idea of what to expect & what help you can provide that will be best for her. Also ask for what you should watch out for, problem wise, that he/she might want to know about. Your doc and other health personnel must have permission from your mom to discuss her care.
