This is a procedural question... I just got home from surgery,,a simple gall bladder operation turned into a 3 day visit to ICU.. they actually wanted to keep me longer and move me to a regular room, but i talked them into letting me go home for the liquid diet part... there was a complication to the surgery that has left me with an air bubble in my brain.. geez. anyway the point of my question is how do i setup it up so my wife and or daughter can call the VA 24 hour medical phone number and talk to them without me being on the phone.. same way with dealing with the doctors and nurses at the hospital..
