: OK, should I come back for checking up？ N. Yes, you are expected to come back in two weeks in the outpatient department, with a repeated X-ray before it. We have organized these for you. P: OK, thanks a lot. I'm wondering how long I should stay at home. N: It depends on how well you recover and your job requirements, but usually at least 8 to 12 weeks. Returning to work should be guided by your doctor and physical therapist. P: Oh, it doesn't sound good news. And how can I carry out my rehab exercises？ N. That's the point. First of all, you'd better move and walk as much as you can just like what we're doing now. P: OK, I will try. N: Good. When you are in bed, remember to bend and straighten your ankles frequently. This will help strengthen your thigh muscles and prevent the blood clots formation. P: OK. You mean like this？ N: Yes, good job. Then ask one of your family members to help you move between your bed and a chair several times every day. It would be much easier for you to use a tall, high-backed chair instead of a soft one. Then try to walk with a walker or crutches, and go to the bathroom. Remember not to overload the operated leg. All of these are written down in this booklet. P: OK, I see. It's so kind of you. How about my diet？ Is there anything special？ N: You need to eat some nutritious food, especially those rich of caleium. P: You mean the food like milk and bone？ N. Absolutely. Do you have any other questions？ P. Where should I go through the discharge formalities3？ N. Don't worry. I will organize this for you. Meanwhile, the doctor will write a letter to your family doctor" and explain the treatment you have had, as well as a letter to your health insurance company. P: OK, great！ Thank you so much！ N. You're welcome. See you later.
