A suggestion for the ride home after surgery

Hi Everyone, I don't know if anyone else had a problem with bumps on the ride home from the hospital, but I had a 30 minute drive from Boston (pot hole capital of the world) and It was very bumppy. I suggest that whoever picks you up from the hospital bring a pillow to hold your belly. I really wish I had one for my ride home.

I agree. I didn't think about it but my husband did!! It was a nice way to keep the seat belt from rubbing as well!! ::hugs:: Cyndi

That is what I did as well, Cyndi - used the pillow to keep the seatbelt off. It does help, especially in an SUV that seems to be needing new shocks. Sandy L

My dr suggested a pillow for the first week - at least. The impact of an airbag can blow out all the work they did. A pillow is also good defense when there are children/dogs or other moving objects around.
