Today's instructions
Ice, elevate, the dressing change, the quad sets. I remind you when each one is due and ask whether it happened, on the schedule your papers set.
day 4 🩹 your sheet has the dressing changing today
On the mend.One day at a time, by text.
Tell me what happened and what they told you to do. I keep count of the days, remind you what today calls for, and tell you when what you're describing is on your sheet's call-the-office list.

What you can do with BodyBuddy
Answers from your own papers
Photo of the discharge sheet or the PT's notes and I keep them. When can you drive, what's a normal amount of swelling, when to call: ask any time and the answer comes from your own instructions.
your sheet says swelling that keeps climbing after day 3 is a call to the office. how's it looking today?
The follow-up, one call away
Ten to fourteen days out, or whatever they said. I remind you when the window opens, and I can pull up the office's number and hours so booking it is one call.
day 6. your sheet says the follow-up is 10 to 14 days out. want me to pull up their booking line?
It starts with whatever you'd text a friend
A surgery date, a sprain, a flu that's flattened you. Tell me what happened the way you'd tell someone who's going to check on you.
hip replacement was monday, home now with a folder of papers and no idea where to start

When the papers are the plan
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.

Hi, I'm Francis 👋
Discharge papers are written for the moment you leave, and forgotten by the time you're home. I built this so the instructions show up on the day they apply, and so someone notices when recovery stops going the way it should.
