Use this checklist as a guide to follow in the time leading up to your surgery:
Insurance will not usually cover the transportation to home from the hospital. Most patients can go home in their family car with some assistance getting in and out of the car. If you are traveling by car, it is helpful to use a midsize car or minivan. Small cars or cars with low bucket seats will be difficult for you to travel in safely. Have the driver bring one or two pillows to sit on.
