Today, I am 4 days post op from a redo of a scalenectomy and neuroplasty.. I can't offer you anymore advise.. Everyone here has covered every piece possible.. One thing I can emphisize is bring your pillows with for the drive home and also ask for those pain meds just prior to leaving the hospital.. It helps especially with bumpy roads..
Hang in there cindy and keep us updated.. You'll be in our thoughts..
