An Assisting Hands caregiver can provide post-operative care during your recovery from a surgery in the Winnetka, IL area. Doctor’s orders in the days and weeks following a hospitalization or out-patient surgery are commonly: no lifting, no heavy housework, no driving, and no physical exercise. Your showers may be a limited as well in order to avoid falling or damaging the healing incision. An individual of any age should follow these orders in order to heal properly.
