The 24 hours of post-surgery help is hopefully more precautionary than a definite need for help, but it's good to have it handy if you need it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted January 14, 2021 Share #9 Posted January 14, 2021 Babysitter? So that's what you call Raul, the physical therapist, these days. Or was he the pool guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be surprised how much you use your arms getting into and out of bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
