I
had
full
knee
replacement
surgery
on
4/1/22
and
was
transferred
to
Sacramento
Post
Acute
the
following
evening.
There
was
a
major
problem
with
my
pain
medications
because
under
state
law,
providers
of
SNF/rehab
facilities
are
limited
to
prescribing
nothing
stronger
than
10mg
Percocet.
I
received
1mg
IV
Dilaudid
every
4
hours
in
the
hospital
but
when
I
arrived
at
Sacramento
Post
Acute,
they
couldnโt
give
me
anything
stronger
than
10mg
Percocet,
which
for
me,
a
chronic
pain
patient
with
a
high
opiate
tolerance,
is
nothing.
I
choose
to
return
to
the
Sutter
Hospital
ER
where
they
got
my
pain
under
control
and
sent
me
back
to
Sacramento
Post
Acute
with
a
prescription
for
4mg
oral
Dilaudid.
None
of
this
was
the
fault
of
Sacramento
Post
Acute.
My
pain
specialist
should
have
waited
until
I
knew
which
SNF/rehab
facility
I
was
going
to
and
should
have
sent
my
pain
medication
order
directly
to
the
contract
pharmacy
for
Sacramento
Post
Acute.
Instead
he
sent
my
prescription
(everything
is
transmitted
electronically
now)
to
my
local
CVS
and
told
me
to
pick
it
up
and
bring
it
with
me
to
the
rehab
facility,
also
telling
me
NOT
to
open
the
bag.
SNF/rehab
facilities
cannot
accept
external
prescriptions.
All
of
this
is
for
any
patients
who
need
more
than
10mg
Percocet
every
4
to
6
hours.
The
nursing
staff,
CNAs,
PT
and
OT
were
fantastic,
the
entire
staff
was
kind,
considerate
and
as
helpful
and
accommodating.
They
went
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty.
Iโm
having
my
left
knee
replaced
as
soon
as
the
right
knee
is
healed
and
I
will
be
returning
to
Sacramento
Post
Acute
after
the
hospital.
My
only
mild
criticism
is
that
it
can
sometimes
take
45
minutes
to
1
hour
for
the
staff
to
respond
to
my
call
light,
but
if
I
made
them
aware
that
it
was
urgent,
I
always
got
a
prompt
response.
Iโve
NEVER
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
but,
because
Iโm
not
vaccinated,
I
was
quarantined
in
a
private
room
with
my
own
bathroom
for
my
entire
stay.
I
highly
recommend
Sacramento
Post
Acute
and
Iโm
NOT
a
staff
member
nor
do
I
have
any
vested
interest
in
this
or
any
of
the
associated
facilities.
