  2. Are you aware of what you should do in order to prepare for a replacement knee? Many of our patients want to know what they can do before getting into the surgery for a smooth and stress free process. We advise them to be prepared. With our expert surgeons and physiotherapist, we have made a thorough checklist to be prepared with before surgery.

  4. 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.
