Check with your surgeon or PCP. They can prescribe a Wound Care RN to come to your house to change dressings.

Check with your insurance company and see if they can schedule a Wound Care Nurse, or Nurse to visit you home after surgery and help you. Also ask at the Hospital, for a Social Worker and see what can get scheduled.
