Post Surgery question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Lots of people had suggested to take a pillow for after the surgery drive home,

does it matter if it soft or firm etc or is any fine?

Also, my son wants to do volunteer work this summer so if things go well in that

case what is normally doctor's instructions to resume normal activities.

Thanks,

Priti

Hi ,

Thank you for your response.  I appreciate you for always sharing your opinion

to help me be prepared with what to expect.  I will definitely be checking with

the doctor as well.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Priti,

The purpose of the pillow is to absorb the " shocks " aka " bumps " in the road. 

It

is great advice. I would think that " soft, " but not too soft, would be the

better choice. 

Regarding recuperation. Best to ask the doctor, plus to see how he is doing

afterwards. Varies with everyone. Probably younger is sooner. Some people will

respond to you based on what their experiences were or what they have heard. 

Also depends upon what you and your son consider to be " normal " activities,

since that can vary from one person to another. I would take a guess that in

your son's case, he could think about 2-3 weeks, but do ask the doctor.
