You've been asked to screen her prior to surgery and if indicated to provide outpatient therapy to get her stronger and optimize her function prior to surgery. The risk calculators and RAPT score that you used to screen Ms. Smith indicate that she is a good candidate for going home after the surgery. You also learn that her healthy and active 35 year old adult son, Mortimer lives nearby. She shares with you that her surgeon said that if all goes as planned that she will have surgery in the morning and leave the hospital that afternoon. She was surprised by the plan and begins asking you questions about what will happen after the surgery in terms of her rehabilitation. You work in an area with bundled payment methodology and ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols for patients who undergo a total joint replacement. Based on your knowledge of this and outcomes following total joint replacement, what advice should you give her?
