Preparing for a hip replacement can feel overwhelming, but getting your home set up correctly is one of the best ways to ensure a smoother, safer recovery. 🏡
We’ve put together this quick checklist to help you get ready before surgery day. ✨
Key Takeaways:
Set up your environment: Keep essentials at waist height and ensure your pathways are clear to prevent falls. 🛋️
Get your gear early: Have your walker, raised toilet seat, shower chair, and dressing tools ready to go before you head to the hospital. 🩼
Plan your support: Organize help for meals, pets, and transportation for when you first get home. 🤝
Know your red flags: If you notice sudden leg shortening, severe pain, or an inability to bear weight, contact your care team immediately. 🚨
Always prioritize your surgeon’s specific hip precautions and advice over any general checklist. 🩺
