Help Them With Pain Management And Cleaning The
Incision
Post surgery, when your loved one gets back from
hospital, they already have been instructed with
a few self care tips. They are priorly informed
about how sensitive their wounds are, medication
for pain, and how to do the dressing. With them
knowing all of this, you have to help, support,
and monitor that they strictly follow all the
instructions. You must also encourage and be
their cheerleader all the time!

Be Their Emotional Support System
Everyone sees the physical stress after a knee
replacement surgery. But not all see the mental
aspect during the rehab and recovery stage. As
the patient is already poor with his mobility, he
is easily prone to deal with lack of self
confidence and self-worth. Majority of people
also experience severe depression and anxiety
issues. In such situations, you must keep on
constantly supporting and encouraging them. Also
try to maintain a clear communication, express
your feelings, and listen to them without hurting
their feelings.

Prepare The Living Area For Better Mobility.
Keeping the living room organized before their
arrival can help in ensuring a smooth healing.
Clean, their bedrooms clean, the pillows that
they might need for leg support. Neatly arrange
medication boxes, walkers, phones,
chargers. Keep writing materials close to them to
take a note of their recovery. Keep bandages for
dressing handy. In short, make sure that
everything is stock up and easily accessible to
them!

Help With The Medications And Wound Care It is
crucial to look after the patient's medications
and prescribed treatments. You may require them
to support them gathering all the prescribed
medications, and ensure that they take them on
time. A daily medication dispenser can really be
helpful to use. You can buy it from a local
pharmacy shop. Religiously monitor the wounded
area for inflammation and swelling. Try to form
a daily routine where you are keeping a check on
medication availability and wound each day.
