HI,
My 80 yo, good health mother will have her first hip replacement surgery in about 4 weeks. I am planning to help her the first week home, and am wondering what to expect as I plan my trip, needing to juggle job absence, etc. Will she potentially need dressing help,bathroom help for a week? More? Any suggestions for how best to prepare? I don't live near her and want to be there when and how best needed.
Somewhat nervous about this....Thanks!
