Visit The Website Of Hospital First, look up the
website of your hospital. You will find all the
information you need, including parking costs
and locations. As well as details about
amenities like cafes, pharmacies, visiting times,
and internet access. Your Surgery Team Know your
surgery team before getting the procedure done by
them. They will send you pre-surgery
documentation before your surgery. This letter
will include important information about the
hospital, how to bring it and what to do with
any prescribed medications.
5
Transport You won't likely be able to drive
yourself home after the surgery. Let family or
friends know as soon as possible about your
surgery date. Keep in mind that check out times
can change so they will need to be flexible. You
may be eligible for Patient Transportation
Services in certain situations. Slippers Make
Great Hospital Companions Slippers are easy to
slip on and off, and don't require any special
bending or tying. Make sure that they are
well-gripped. Comfort is the main goal for
shoes. Flat shoes with a comfortable insole are
better than ones with a high heel.
6
Take Your Medication With You Make sure you take
all your medications prescribed by the doctor
along with the prescription. This will help the
nurses understand your medical history without
any hassle. These can be given to the nurse upon
arrival. You can also make a list of them with
dates and dosages. Wash Bag You'll likely want
to use your own toiletries, rather than those
provided by the hospital. Here is a basic kit
list toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, sanitary
wear and skincare products.
7
Packaged Snacks Snacks can be helpful for those
who are bed-bound or have special dietary
requirements. This will help you feel less
homesick. Since constipation is a common side
effect of surgery substances, dried fruit like
prunes can be a good choice. Entertainment
Material Supplies It's easy to take magazines,
books, and puzzle books, pre-downloaded movies
and audio. Also, Stock up on items you will need
during your recovery, such as ice packs,
compression stockings, and non-slip socks. You
may also want to consider purchasing a raised
toilet seat and shower chair.
8
Eye Care Pack your lenses, if necessary. However,
if you are going to be asleep for a longer
period of time, glasses might be more useful than
contacts. You might consider bringing your own
eye drops or lotions to help soothe the skin and
eyes. Plan For Physical Therapy Physiotherapy is
an essential component of the recovery process
after Knee Replacement Treatment Brampton. A
Brampton physiotherapist will work with you to
restore strength, flexibility, and range of
motion to your knee, and help you regain your
independence and function.
