Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 , You asked about when you'd get released from Sinai after surgery with Dr. Mont for conserve +. It depends. Some people are released after 3 days in the hospital. I met approximately 10 of Dr. Mont's patients when I was there. All the knee replacements except 1 left after 3 days. The 1 that stayed had a lot of pain so went to rehab first. The femoral head resurfacings all left in 3 days. I saw a couple of the conserve + patients (Hi Hal!) leave in only 3 days. I was totally wiped out and did 3 days in the hospital and another 5 in the rehab unit. My conserve + surgery was very long and complicated, I puked my guts otu for 2 days straight afterwards, had 2 blood transfusions. Another conserve + woman I know (Hi Sue!) also had complications and did the same. So you just can't predict. Once in the rehab unit my husband was allowed to sleep in my room on a cot. They also have a washer and dryer, which he used. As for hotel accommodations, other people have better advice on that than I did. We did fly in and out of the Baltimore airport, and got a rental car. Very confusing to get bearings. Goto www.MapsOnUs.com and get step-by-step route ahead of time.
