Medical Equipment Needed After Surgery
After my grandmother's lumbar spinal decompression/spinal fusion surgery, what equipment would be most beneficial? Will she need a hospital bed, commode chair, lift, shower? Please tell me what equipment you needed most after surgery so I could get an idea of what we need to help make her more comfortable afterwards. Thanks!
