Great idea! Maybe if you mentioned she is w/o a therapist and would be willing to have a telesession even if its for a 20 minute eval.

EVeryone is different but I really needed 2 weeks before I had therapist after my hysterectomy. I had a phone session at 1 week post-op and I was still so tired and on pain meds that my therapist couldn't keep me awake and eventually very gently told me that I was asleep and he was hanging up. So it was kind of a check-in but not the best. Other people have an easier recovery than I did though so maybe it would be ok at 1 weeks for some people.
