I don’t see anyone mention the painful ride home the day after surgery. I just remember how painful it was sitting in a seat, I was able to lay back as far as it would go, didn’t help. I lay down in the back of the car across the seats. I didn’t have padding and the seat was uncomfortable on the drive home, it was a painful hour.

Coming home is ok the 2nd day but sitting in a seat in the car for more than even 20 minutes is going to be real uncomfortable, if your husband has a high pain threshold maybe he can do it. I was even on painkillers, but that didn’t help. If you have room to lay down across the back seats or a station wagon or equivalent vehicle in which he can lay down, great! Have padding for the seats or floors and a blanket or comforter, it would really help.
