    Two Drs from the TAVR team came in earlier.

    I asked if I should wake Dad and they said no, let him chill.

    Then my Dad woke and one of the Dr asked him to raise both arms, which he was always able to do.

    The other Dr asked if everything is ok and I said, "God-willing'

    if he is in pain they sure are already giving pain meds thru the ivs... ask them and know what med they giving for your knowledge..

    case manager handles all the things (not to forget the financial matters) that a patient need while they are being discharged,and the things they need at home for him to get back to routine.

    like the things including medical supply,home healthcare nurses if needed,in home theraphies etc..

    The doctor's job is done after post operative care and it is the case manager who should verify all other requirements before discharge as to what the patient need for him to go back home.
