How can you tell if someone is going to have surgery?
Openly ask for their support and inform them about your most intimate reasons. Share how your perceived imperfections make you feel. Talk to your surgeon before the procedure and share the information you’ve acquired with them.
Can I hire someone to take care of me after surgery?
Homewatch CareGivers are ready to help support recovery comfortably at home with personalized services designed to meet individual post-surgery care needs. Caregivers are accessible 24/7, have passed background checks, and are known for being compassionate and professional.
What happens if you don’t rest after surgery?
Pushing yourself too hard after a procedure can cause immediate or long-term physical complications. Additionally, it’s normal to feel mentally and emotionally vulnerable after surgery, and how you recover can play a major role in keeping those negative feelings at bay.
Can you be fired while recovering from surgery?
In most cases, No. California and federal law provides employees with several legal rights in these instances. Your employer is prohibited from firing you after surgery if that act breaches any of the statutes that may apply to you.
Can an employer deny you time off for surgery?
There is NO general obligation for employers to provide employees with any time off for medical needs or surgery; an employer can generally fire employees who do not show up to work for any reason.
What if I dont have anyone to drive me home after surgery?
You will receive anesthesia, so you must have someone there to be responsible for you. This can be a professional sitter or patient escort, presumably; ask the hospital booking staff to give you names of agencies.
Can I Drive Myself to the hospital the first day after surgery?
If you cannot arrange these things, discuss alternative care such as staying at the surgical center until you are able to go home by cab ride. Driving the first day after surgery with any kind of anesthetic is not going to be an option.
Do I need Someone to stay with me during cataract surgery?
You are best advised to have someone stay with you until you are lucid and are fully able to look after yourself. I just took my wife for cataract surgery which had her sedated for all of ten minutes. She was not lucid and able to care for herself for another eight hours.
What do I do if I can’t afford a hospital stay?
Contact social services at the hospital, or offer a coworker or neighbor some cash to look after you. Trust me, it will make the whole affair go much more smoothly.
