Recovery/car journey ??

Hello,
I have booked a hotel about 15 minutes away from the hospital but I’m only staying over the one night. I’ve had anaesthetic before and woke up completely fine, not poorly in the slightest and hungry believe it or not! The nurse even said she was surprised at how good I felt after the anaesthetic… so I am assuming I’ll wake up fine with the anaesthetic (just pain like most girls are experiencing)

However, the day after my operation my boyfriend will be driving us home. The car journey will be 2hrs 30mins minimum… a few people have said the car journeys cause them more pain?

Will I be ok in the car for that long? Another stupid question but… where do I place the seatbelt ? I’m guessing I won’t want the seatbelt across my chest ???????? xx

I doubt the car journey so relaxing sometimes over the bumps it hurt a bit but I fount it easier to fall asleep

Just take a pillow Hun and recline your seat a tiny bit x

Ok great!!! Thanks for your help girls xxx

Mine was the same length journey I had my v pillow with me and wasn’t too bad. I needed help into and out of the car xx

I had a two hour car journey back the same night we didnt leave till about half 8/9 oclock on the evening and it was very comfortable x

I felt really ill the day after surgery and was sick for hours but I had come straight home, I had a big pillow between me nd the seatbelt and this was fine, I’m sure your bf will drive slowly and carefully x

I came home last night left about 10.30pm just ask for some pain relief to be given before u leave and u will be ok I had a 45 min car drive home and felt fine it I wore the belt across my lap and the chest bit behind the chair naughty I know but I was comfy x
