The author uses her own experiences as a patient and family member experiences to provide easy to understand and implement steps to prepare for and recover from surgery. Sections include picking a surgeon and hospital, preparations, surgery, and aftercare. Use the “what to expect” sections and checklists to develop an action plan that covers emergency unplanned surgeries. The appendix includes medical jargon, people you meet, health overview, recovery checklist, medicine review, resources and notes.

I was randomly chosen through a Goodreads Giveaway to receive this book free from the publisher. Although encouraged, I was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. ( )
