if a VET is having surgery at the hospital can his wife stay in his room during his recovery

Yes but I highly recommend that you make plans in advance because the VA will not supply a roll away for the misses. You can bring in a air mattress which is what I highly recommend. Good luck veteran.

Talk with your primary Dr to arrange something.

Call to patient advocate to try to arrange

I'd inquired about it once and was told that it is possible. Would have to sleep on chair. But, do inquire with the recovery department.
