  1. Post Surgery Do's and Don'ts: A Home Care Guide The post-surgery period is one of the toughest times for the patient. From ensuring hygiene to rehabilitating gradually, post-surgery is a work in progress that requires help, motivation, and comfort. Irrespective of the type of surgery, patients are their most vulnerable selves at this period and require intensive monitoring and care. The post-surgery period can be emotionally and physically taxing for patients as well as their families. At such a crucial time period, home care services provide the perfect avenue for the patients to recover seamlessly. We have compiled a list of Dos and Don'ts, which can expedite the recovery process phenomenally. The Dos: ● Intaking Medicine The medicines prescribed by the doctors are specifically chosen to accelerate your recovery process. Although it might be powerful and drowse-inducing, the medications ensure that the patients avoid possible infections and recover without a problem. It is essential to give your medication list to your home care nurse so that they can give the medicine at the right time. ● Dressing the Wound The surgical site is prone to infections and must be protected at all costs. Generally, doctors ask the patients to drop in at the hospital to cleanse the wound. However, with

  2. home nursing care services, the patients can dress the wound at home. The home care nurses use sterile tools and hygienic methodologies to clean the surgical site completely and redress the wound. ● Eat a Balanced Diet Eating the right thing accelerates your recovery process. A balanced diet that includes the right proportion of veggies, fruits, lean meat, and greens helps the body to repair itself faster. Drinking water and sugar-less fresh juices are also advised by doctors to combat constipation and dehydration. The Don'ts ● Avoid Alcohol and Smoking Both alcohol and smoking can impede your recovery process. It is essential to avoid alcohol and smoking to ensure that your body gets the pace to recover without extra problem-causing elements. ● Avoid Driving The rehabilitation process after surgery must be gradual and not rushed. Typically, home care services ensure that the patients regain their ability to move in phases. It is advisable to avoid driving as it requires effort and concentration. ● Exercising Immediately After surgery, your body recovers immense rest and relief. Exercising immediately can cause trauma to your surgical site and can cause irreparable damage to the body. It is

  3. essential to listen to the doctor's advice and take up exercising gradually and in low amounts. The post-surgery period can be made seamless by following the doctor's prescription diligently.
