When preparing for surgery, most of the attention naturally goes to the procedure itself – when to arrive, not eating or drinking after midnight, what to bring, and what recovery will look like afterward.
But there’s another detail that may cause you a lot of stress: who will be there when you’re ready to go home?
If you’re having day surgery at Langley Memorial Hospital, you may need to arrange for a responsible adult to accompany you home or they won’t be able to discharge you. That can be difficult if you live alone or have no one to ask. Or maybe you have people to ask, but they can’t take half a day off work.
Whatever the case may be… rest assured there is a solution!
Miss Happy Helper provides medical escort and surgery pickup services in Langley and throughout Metro Vancouver for patients who need someone dependable on procedure day.
