As I was reading this, I relayed it to my sister-in-law, preparing the way for my almost-full-time plan. Ha! Thanks for such a great "reference" post. (Look! Here is a lady not only having hip surgery but continuing to live in her RV during the recovery!!!)<br />Have a Merry Christmas and looking forward to hear how your recovery is going.

Gowns dont have elastic to pull over dressings. <br />I also have several of those drawer units for odds and ends that I use all the time, but get lost in the bigger regular drawers and are easy to secure when in transit. Enjoy your brother's stay. I'm sure he will be a big help and will keep your spirits up. what'supwithsusanandcompanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314263752153548219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-19846657814890806562012-12-20T11:10:19.495-06:002012-12-20T11:10:19.495-06:00When I had my knees replaced, they asked that I st...When I had my knees replaced, they asked that I stay in hospital gowns (in case of any emergency)....

Sweater or bed-coat for those chilly hospital rooms??? A while back someone suggested showing your PT team photos of your rig. Don't forget pixs of the bathroom. One "aid" you might pick-up at a medical supply store is a raised toilet seat.
