You won’t be able to drive in the first days following your operation, so you should arrange for a family member or friend to collect you from the hospital so that they can take you home. You’re likely to feel very tired in the early stages of the recovery period, and you could possibly be in some discomfort, too. Because of this, it’s recommended that you plan for someone to spend the initial 24 hours after returning home with you. Everyday tasks will be challenging at the start and so you’ll need their help to get your recovery off to the best possible start.
