[quote=Anonymous]My 79 YO father had a scheduled hip replacement earlier this spring. We were worried about this but he came home after one night at the hospital. My parents had arranged for a helper (not sure the term but not a RN nurse or anything) to be there when they got home and for some part of the day for the first week. The aid helped my dad get showered/dressed and some basic things around the house. They were almost more of a help to my Mom than my Dad. My Dad was able to walk (albeit very short distances) prior to the surgery and was also able to walk short distances with a walker immediately after the surgery. He had zero interest in a rehab facility and it worked out fine with physical therapy at home and then quickly in the physical therapy office. [/quote]
