When your doctor recommends a surgical procedure, there are many considerations to be made. Pre-Op Solutions helps plan for an easy, successful recovery at home.

After suffering from osteoarthritis for several years, Margaret’s physician recommended she have a total knee replacement. Discussing the pros and cons of the surgical procedure, she was eager to find relief from years of pain and decided moving forward was the best option for her.

Margaret and her daughter Amanda reviewed the documents from her physician. Understanding the details of the procedure felt helpful, but also caused a lot of worry and anxiety. While knee replacements are common these days, Margaret knew complications are possible, and it could take up to a year to fully recover. Rehabilitation recommendations included medical equipment such as grab bars, a commode chair, and a shower bench. And what about all the things she would need to complete her activities of daily living?

Margaret was now not only worried about her procedure, but all the things she would have to adjust to comfortably move around her house. Amanda agreed to fly in for her surgery, but will only be able to stay a few days, and Margaret felt worried about what she would do when her daughter had to go back home. She also didn’t want to put too much stress on Amanda to take care of all the preparation details when she arrived. 

Luckily, Amanda discovered Pre-Op Solutions - a company whose mission is to improve recovery outcomes by providing safe, pre-operative care and medical equipment rental services. She was able to schedule a consultation with the knowledgeable and dedicated team to discuss the details of Margaret’s upcoming operation.

Pre-Op Solutions was able to deliver, demonstrate, and test-fit the equipment Margaret would need for recovery, ensuring she and Amanda felt comfortable knowing how to use it. The medical equipment rental saved hundreds of dollars, as many equipment purchases were not covered by her Medicare policy. The team was also able to assess her home and recommend ways to make sure her rehabilitation spaces were safe and comfortable.

Margaret felt relieved knowing everything was in place to make her recovery as smooth as possible. She had the necessary equipment to support her as she recovered, and she also felt confident she would be able to move around her home with a minimal risk of falling.

Amanda was able to help Margaret get home and comfortable after her operation. A few days later, she was able to return to her own home knowing her mother had everything she needed and people to turn to for help if anything changed.

Not only did Pre-Op Solutions logistically set Margaret up for success, the peace of mind allowed for her and her daughter was priceless.
