57M American's are having surgery every year and 25% of American's live alone!

As many of you may know, I am in the process of completing a "how to" book designed to help anyone going through the surgical process, this includes caregivers and advocates. It will be available in the next 30 days (give or take a day), so keep an eye peeled. It has been an incredible experience and boy, do I have a ton of great stuff to share!
Recently I came across two mind blowing statistics:

• 57M - that's 57,000,000 - American's are having some kind of surgery or surgical procedure every year. Nearly 35M out-patient surgeries and 22M in-patient surgeries.

• More than 27.4% of American's, or 32M American's, live alone (according to a 2013 U.S. Census Bureau report).

Those are big numbers. They indicate to me that there are a lot of people who could benefit from some help and support when facing medical crises. I'll hurry up with the book. In the meantime, here's something to get you started:

And check back. This blog is about all things surgery related – preparation through recovery. If you have any questions, send them along.

To your vibrant health!
