I am an 80 year old widow, living alone in (fortunately) a one-story house.
I've just about decided that hip replacement surgery can no longer be avoided. I've found excellent information on the procedure and what happens in the hospital..and services covered by medicare. Then, I am stuck! It "feels" like I should find an intermediate after-care facility to bridge the gap between the hospital and going home. And then, home care and services available...under medicare.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has a similiar live-style ... and your experience, after surgery. Jeanne
