Good thought. A counter point, however, is that the next day he’ll still be under fading effects of anesthesia that may help ease the uncomfortable seating that is inevitable. Best case would be if he could sleep some of the trip away.

I really don’t remember being under the fading effects of anesthesia the next day. I was in a lot of pain the whole trip home because the backseat was so uncomfortable to lay across. It was a little under an hour home and it was really painful and uncomfortable the whole way. I am 6’4” tall so trying to lay across the back seat, even in a wide car was not easy.
Sitting in the reclined passenger seat was even worse.
On the third day home I actually was able to go to a couple of clients offices to help with problems that were having with their computers. Recovery can be rapid after that first day coming home.
