My mother in law just have a total knee replacement surgery last friday. Even though she had been discharged, she still needs assistance to get around the house as the prescribe medicine are still making her drowsy and weak. Her knee had not been completely healed yet too. According to the doctor, on average it will take about 1 week to recover.
Good news is that after the surgery, she does not feel any pain when walking around so I would say the surgery is a success. The bad news is that she does not have any hospitalization insurance. Even if she wanted to get one now, she already passed the final enrollment age (60 years of age that is for those who don't know). The bill itself almost reached 14K. From the itemised billing, hospitals are bloodsuckers. This burned a very big hole in our pocket. Another bad news is that I can't even buy hospitalization insurance for my parents as well it they also passed the final enrollment age :(
