BRATTLEBORO-Open your door to Rescue Inc. for a pre-operation safety check of your living space. I did, and I am so happy that I did.
As part of preparing me for knee replacement surgery, I was offered this free visit to suggest any changes I might make to my living space in order to make it as safe as possible after surgery.
Not only were helpful suggestions made, but Zack and Paul also went over my checklist of medications and medical equipment that I'll be using temporarily after surgery.
They made note of my emergency contacts in case they might need them, and they offered to answer any questions and concerns I might have about the surgery.
And, as a bonus, I was offered a follow-up after surgery, which I accepted with an enthusiastic and heartfelt "yes." I now approach my surgery with more confidence and less stress.
All of this was offered in a friendly, unhurried, and caring approach with even many opportunities to share a laugh. I am writing this in the hope that someone anticipating surgery and a bit hesitant to take this opportunity will be reassured and take advantage of this offer from Rescue Inc.
Thank you, Rescue Inc.
