Post-Op Recovery Guide: How MyFredy Helps
Recovering from a procedure is easier when you're not alone. Whether you've had orthopedic surgery, a GI procedure, or cosmetic work, our trained escorts are by your side through discharge and return home. MyFredy companions help you transition smoothly, ensure you're safely settled, and make sure no provider instructions are missed.
This guide includes what to prepare at home, how long to rest, and when to call your provider. It is not medical advice but complements your provider’s official post-care plan. You should always follow the instructions from your surgeon or medical team.
Before Your Procedure
- Stock your fridge with light meals, fluids, and any post-op dietary needs.
- Set up a clean, comfortable space to rest with easy access to a bathroom.
- Secure your follow-up transportation if needed for the next day or week.
- Confirm your MyFredy escort details and service window by reviewing our Pricing & FAQs.
During Escort Service
- Your Fredy stays with you through the discharge process and ensures all provider instructions are understood and documented.
- If medications are prescribed, we assist in picking them up on the way home when possible.
- We remain until you're fully settled and responsive at home—typically 30–60 minutes post-arrival.
After Arrival at Home
- Monitor for any unexpected symptoms or medication reactions.
- Use your provider’s printed instructions as your primary guide.
- Call your provider immediately if pain is unmanaged, fever develops, or instructions are unclear.

FAQs
What should I have ready at home after surgery?
Comfortable clothes, easy-to-access water and snacks, extra pillows, and any medications prescribed in advance. A charged phone nearby is helpful too.
Does MyFredy help with pharmacy runs?
Yes. When possible, your Fredy can assist with prescription pickup on the way home from your procedure, especially if the discharge paperwork includes time-sensitive medications.
Can I book a Fredy for the next day too?
Yes, many clients request a return escort for follow-up appointments. This is especially common after eye surgeries, plastic surgery, or orthopedic work.
Is MyFredy only for seniors?
Not at all. Our services are used by adults of all ages, especially those without nearby family or who want support that doesn't rely on friends or coworkers.
