Hosting A Joey: The Ideal Support for your Surgery Prep and Recovery
Focus on your health, let Joey focus on the rest. You don’t need our help healing your meniscus, but you might need help getting nourishing food along the way.
At JoeyCo, our unique solution makes your pre-surgery preparation and post-surgery recovery easier than you thought possible. Let's explore how becoming a Host can be your perfect strategy for a successful joint replacement journey!
Prep: Counting Down and Stocking Up
Imagine not worrying about groceries, meal prep, tidy spaces and more.
1. Extra Hands Make Light Work
As your surgery date approaches, your Joey can help with meal prep, light housekeeping, and all those little things you know won’t get done when recovery rolls around (looking at that stack of library books next to your recliner…). Don’t you want the latest NYT Best Seller lined up to pass the post-op time?
2. Recovery-ready space? Easy Peasy.
Your Joey can help prepare your home for post-surgery life, assisting with tasks like:
Installing grab bars and non-slip mats in the bathroom
Setting up a temporary first-floor bedroom, if needed
Organizing your clothes and essentials for easy access
3. Jitters Be Gone!
Having a friendly Joey around can provide emotional support as you prepare for your procedure. They can help you write down questions for your medical team and keep track of educational materials for you.
Post-Op: One Stop Shopper
Laid up in bed and craving Ben & Jerry’s Cherry Garcia and simply nothing else will do? Joey can pick it up (along with a few more ice packs and fresh bandages) next time they run to the store.
1. You Name It, Joey’s on It
Your Joey will be there to assist with daily tasks as you regain strength and mobility, becoming an invaluable part of your recovery team. Suddenly can’t reach a top shelf? Joey’s got it. They can help with medication reminders, grocery runs, and an extra push to do that light exercise as prescribed by your doctor.
2. Transportation & Appointment Coordination
There. Are. So. Many. Appointments. Post-op driving restrictions? Joey can be your chauffeur. Your Joey can help coordinate and provide transportation to follow-up appointments, physical therapy sessions, and pharmacy trips.
3. Maintain Your Independence
Recover in the comfort of your own space without feeling like you're asking too much of family members. Your Joey can help you navigate your home safely while respecting their and your independence.
4. Nutritional Support
Your Joey can assist with meal planning and preparation, ensuring you stay well-hydrated and nourished during recovery. We all know we should eat whole foods and fresh ingredients, what if that were… easy??
Is Hosting a Joey Right for Your Surgery Journey?
If you were nodding along (it’s ok, you can admit it), hosting a Joey might be the perfect solution. Now imagine if you can get all of those benefits for next to nothing. If you have a spare room, that and more is possible with a Joey.
Remember, it's okay to ask for help. With a Joey, you're not facing this journey alone and you’re not asking your family members to take time out of their busy schedules either. Family and friends are still an integral component of your support system, but a Joey can do all the things, so you don’t have to ask your friends and family to be all the things. Joeys are naturally around to check in daily and assist with tasks that might just pop up during your recovery period.
