Record your appointment or send me your discharge papers. I keep what they told you, text you what today calls for, and help you follow through while you recover.
Day 6 of 14
Your surgeon or physical therapist can cover a lot in one visit. Ask everyone for their okay, then record in the BodyBuddy app. I turn the recording into a summary and a plan you can review.
I keep the instructions so you can come back to them. Ask me what they said about your exercises or the follow-up, and I read it back. I text you about the tasks on the days they apply.
See how appointment recording worksThis is what we do to help clients follow their recovery instructions. Yours will bend to you, but this is the shape.
First 10 minutes
Tell me what happened and what you were told to do. Record your appointment in the BodyBuddy app with everyone's okay, or send a photo of the instructions you already have. We review the summary and tasks together, and I keep them so you can ask what they say any time.
Same day
We work through the tasks and dates on your sheet. I text you when a dressing change, an exercise session, or another instruction is due, and I ask whether it happened.
Every day
I ask how the pain or swelling is and how you managed the day's instructions. You answer in a sentence, and I keep what you report with the date and the day of your recovery.
When something changes
I compare what you describe with the warning signs in your instructions. I tell you plainly when they say to call, and I direct urgent concerns to medical care. Your clinician decides what a symptom means and when you are cleared to do more.
On the days they're due
I text you the exercises, sets, and reps from your physical therapist's notes on the days they are due. Tell me what you managed and how it felt, and I keep that for the next visit.
When the window opens
I keep the follow-up window from your sheet and text you when it opens. Ask me for the office's number and hours, then make the call. I ask whether you booked and keep the date you give me.
When you're cleared
Your clinician decides when you can return to your usual activities. Tell me what they cleared you for, and we bring back the meals, walks, or training that fit those instructions.
Your sheet sets the schedule for ice, elevation, dressing changes, and exercises. I text you when each one is due and ask whether it happened.
day 4 🩹 your sheet has the dressing change today. did it happen?
Record the visit with everyone's okay, or send your discharge papers. I keep the instructions you review so you can ask what they said about exercises, activity limits, or the next appointment.
your sheet says swelling that keeps climbing after day 3 is a call to the office. how's it looking today?
Your instructions set the follow-up window. I text you when it opens and can pull up the office's number and hours. You make the call, and I ask how it went.
day 6. your sheet says the follow-up is 10 to 14 days out. want me to pull up their booking line?

Everything above runs from what you tell me. Photograph the discharge sheet or the PT's notes, or record the follow-up with everyone's okay, and I put every instruction on the calendar and answer your questions from the source. When what you tell me matches something on their call-the-office list, I say so.
Your sheet and your clinician set the recovery plan. I keep the instructions, text you when tasks are due, and ask whether they happened. I never clear you for exercise or diagnose a symptom.
Ask everyone for their okay, then record in the BodyBuddy app. I turn the visit into a summary and a plan for you to review, and I help you follow the instructions afterward. You can also send a photo of the papers you were given.
