Pain after surgery/ Post Surgery Care in Corona Del Mar


Unfortunately, some pain is an inevitable companion to most types of surgery. The good news is that there are many highly effective medications to keep post-surgical pain under control. In addition to the benefit of greater comfort, experts say well-controlled pain can speed recovery and prevent long-term problems.

 In order to make sure you’re getting the best possible treatment for your post-surgical pain, experts advise taking an active role and keeping the channels of communication open between you and your doctor -- starting before your operation.

The time to talk with your surgeon and anesthesiologist about how your pain will be managed after surgery is during pre-surgery testing, not after the procedure has occurred.Here are some important questions to ask your physician before the date of your surgery:

1. How will the anaesthetics interfere with the medications I am taking currently?
2. How much pain should I expect?
3. Will there be any side effects?

Elderly Veterans and Spouses may be eligible for pensions and aid

Not many veterans are aware that there is a government benefit that pays for caregivers, assisted living and nursing homes. This is called the Aid & Attendance benefit, which can cover the costs of caregivers in the home. Wartime veterans (who have served at least a day in wartime duty) may be eligible to receive up to $2,019/ month and up to $1,094/ month for a widow of a veteran.

Considered a "well kept secret" by the VA Administration, applying to receive these benefits may prove tricky. A-1 Home Care offers free consultations to determine eligibility for Veterans Benefits.
