Surgery is a major event, and the patient needs to prepare for it. If we are talking about senior patients needing to go through an operation, the preparation comes with an added layer of caution. After all, our senior loved ones have a considerable risk when it comes to their health.
If it is determined that a senior loved one needs to undergo surgery, preparation is key for their recovery. Let us talk about how we can help our elderly loved ones prepare for an operation.
First, be clear on the date of operation and what to expect. Discuss these details with your doctor and list down recommendations before and after the surgery. Your doctor will be providing instructions, and these should be carried out.
Stress should be removed or reduced prior to surgery. Avoid putting your loved ones in another stressful situation, especially since we need to condition their well-being for the surgery.
Nutrition is important, and your senior loved one should build up before the surgery date comes in. Take note that nutrition before the surgery is different from the “fasting” requirement that your doctor may require.
