INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A few weeks before the surgery, get your home ready. Make sure that all the items you need on a regular basis are at hip level. This way, you don't have to twist your pelvic muscles or strain other sore parts of your body. Rearrange your closet so that items such as socks or underwear are near hip level, so you won't have any trouble reaching down for those items. Make sure you have a sleeping space in the downstairs of your home available for at least a couple of weeks after surgery, because stairs will be hard to handle. Make sure you have a comfortable bed that makes it easy for you to lie down and get up with minimal support. Get a chair with appropriate support, such as sturdy arms, to support yourself when you are getting up and sitting down. After your surgery, you may require a walker to help you with your routine activities. Make sure that you arrange your house to enable unfettered movement. Ensure that all objects are placed out of the way to help you move around easily. If your bathroom doesn't have any handle bars, now is the time to install them so you won't have problems steadying yourself in the bathroom. Arrange aids to help you bathe, including a chair and low level shelves to store your soaps and shampoos. Run errands to stock your house with the things you will need after your surgery. Stock up on easy-to-prepare meals like frozen or canned food items. Make sure that you have all the necessary items you need, like water, milk, snacks, juice, and other food items.

If you have a friend or family member who is able, have them cook delicious but healthy meals for you when they can. Your doctor may advise you to stop taking NSAIDs or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs a few weeks before surgery. The reason for that is because NSAIDs are blood thinners and may increase blood loss during surgery. Some medications taken for rheumatoid arthritis, such as humira, enbrel, methotrexate, and plaquinil, could impair your immune system, so it is best to abstain from using these if possible. Also, avoid anticoagulants such as heparin and plavix, because these thin your blood and can increase blood loss when you undergo surgery. Your personal and business life is going to be affected by your hip replacement surgery, because you will need to take some time off to recover. Once you learn how long it will take you to return to work, you need to plan your work schedule in such a way that the impact on your work will be reduced. Try asking your partners or colleagues to help with your work until you can return. Talk to your doctor about the diet you should follow to make your surgery and recovery go smoothly. Eat a balanced diet that gives you the energy necessary to recover. Your doctors may suggest that you increase your intake of protein to speed up bone and muscle recovery. Here are some suggestions to help you plan your diet: Increase your protein intake by eating foods such as milk, eggs, fish, peanut butter, nuts, and beans. Eat foods high in calcium to strengthen your bones, such as milk, cheese, yogurt and canned salmon.

SUMMARY: Get your home ready to accommodate your limited mobility. Arrange your home so it is easy to navigate with a walker. Install new equipment in your bathroom to make bathing easy. Take care of household chores and errands. Ask a family member or friend to provide assistance after your surgery. Under your doctor's supervision, stop taking any blood-thinning medications to prevent excessive blood loss. Inform your family, friends, and colleagues of your surgery.

For angled trim, use a miter saw to cut one end of each piece at a 45 degree angle. Be sure to mirror the cuts on each piece so that they'll fit together with the head casing. Stand one end of the trim on the sill and line up the other end with the bottom of the head casing. Make sure the piece is even with the jambthere should be no reveal or overlap. When you're satisfied that they fit together properly, squeeze a small amount of wood glue onto the backside of the trim and press it into place. Perform a couple mock-ups before you secure the casing permanently. If possible, have someone else hold the trim so you can inspect it from a distance. A little adhesive will help hold the trim in place while you fasten it. Drive the nails 4-6" (10-15cm) apart down the length of the trim. When you're done, repeat on the opposite side. To make mitered casings extra secure, fasten them together from the outer edge at the point where they intersect.
Summary: Cut two pieces of casing for the sides. Glue the side casing into place. Nail down the casing.
