I read a lot of posts about the ride home being uncomfortable, and I highly agree. I have posted before about how for this last surgery I took a van/cab where they attached my wheelchair in their van and it was so much better than taking the car, if anyone is interested. It's specialized for people who are post op, or disabled. It does cost money, for us it was 60$ for an hour but soooo worth it.
