Hi Ladies,
Hope you are all keeping well and positive. This message is in reply to Anna-Maria74, with regards to post laparotomy, but i'm sure it will help others also.
When my partner came to pick me up from the hospital, he brought the sedan because it was low slung so all I needed to do was to bend my knees a little and then slide in with the seat reclined a little bit. This was much easier than if he had brought the 4wd to pick me up in, because it would have been too hard with a midline incision to climb up into it. Also, have a towel to put over your tummy so the seat belt won't press into you and hurt your stomach. I wish you all the best with your surgery on the 3rd of July and also to Linda F on the 28th of this month,
Take care, yours in sisterhood,
Mariah X
