Good care and assistance at home is important to help you recover quickly
- You may need someone to stay with you for at least a few days
after you return home
- They may need
to help you follow instructions for your care after surgery, and monitor your recovery
- They may also
need to help you with daily tasks such as cooking, washing, cleaning and childcare
Although your pain will be managed, you should take care not to
strain yourself during recovery. If you live alone or have additional
care needs, and do not have someone to stay with you when you leave
hospital, you may need to go to a rehabilitation centre or request
home care. Just ask your healthcare team for advice and
support on rehabilitation centres.
If you want to find out any more information or support on any of the
