Title: Hiring a caregiver / surgery w/ Pritchett
Post by: gray horse on August 07, 2021, 10:42:13 AM
Has anyone traveled into town solo and hired a caregiver to get you from the hospital/surgery to the hotel the first day? Having a revision done late October or early November.

thanks - also any advice on having a revision is much appreciated.

Hi there, I had a revision in Sept 2018 with Dr. Pritchett. The surgery and recovery were both very smooth. You're smart to look for someone to assist you in the immediate aftermath. If possible, I'd have the person spend the first day & evening with you. Try calling a skilled nursing agency. Good luck!
