Surgery coming up
Your parent's surgery is on the calendar. Let's plan the weeks around it.
The hospital plans surgery day. A Mindy nurse helps your family plan everything around it, from rides and meals to who looks after Dad, even from far away.
$149 for your first plan, ideally a week or more before surgery. For parents who live in Pennsylvania.
What gets missed
What tends to fall through around a surgery
Care for the person she cares for
If your parent looks after a spouse, someone has to cover meals, medicines and nights while she's in the hospital and healing.
Rides
She may not be able to drive for a while. Surgery day, follow-up visits and therapy all need rides.
Meals
If she's the cook, someone has to feed them both for the first few weeks.
Coming home
Discharge instructions, new medicines, equipment, and stairs to the bedroom. Small changes are easier to make before surgery than after.
The Mindy First Step
$149 for a plan built around the surgery date.
Start with the part that worries you most. Your nurse talks it through with you and your parents, then writes the plan.
What's included
- A call with you. About 20 minutes on the surgery, the date and what worries you most.
- A call with your parents. About 30 minutes, so we hear what they want in their own words.
- Your written plan. The top priorities, who does what, dates counted back from surgery day, and local options we've checked for the biggest gap.
- A call to go over it. Within 2 business days of the call with your parents.
You pay when you book the first call. Full refund if you cancel before it. If your parent lives outside Pennsylvania, you won't be charged.
Priced separately
- A second concern, or more rounds of research
- Booking and confirming services for you
- Check-in calls during the recovery
Want help through the recovery? I'll offer it after your plan. You decide.
What Mindy doesn't do
- Hands-on care or visits to the home
- Emergency help. Call 911.
- Diagnose, prescribe or replace your parent's doctors
- Promise a provider will be available. They're independent businesses.
- Legal or financial advice

Counted back from surgery day, so rides, meals and care for Dad are settled before anyone leaves for the hospital.
Who you'll work with
I'm Susanna, a registered nurse. As a cardiothoracic step-down nurse, I sent surgery patients home and saw how much their families had to absorb on the way out the door. I read every request myself.
