    10 days.

    I had an Ileus. After my BM, I left about 3 minutes later. LOL

    Actually, that's a truthful statement. No kidding. I just wanted to go home.

    I would recommend a Cadillac, not a SS Camaro with Bilstein shocks for your mode of transport and lots of soft down pillows. Soft down pillows are easy to mold into shape and are more forgiving in case they are positioned incorrectly. Have a blanket, you will be cold and freezing from the opiates.

    Have a pair of large wool socks that are easy to put on. They will wheel you down in a wheelchair, and of course, you will not be driving.

    7 days sounds about right.

    I also had a ride home in a cadillac, my friend with the smoothest car ride drove us home 1.5 hours. Had lots of pillows and it still was a hard painful ride home. No matter how smooth the car is, the streets of NYC are bumpy. I got home and took a 3 hour nap.
