I think it is silly!!

Unless you have complications why stay. Your in a hotel with distance that would allow for you to be followed by DR. Redan & reich. I went to New York, had my adhesiolysis up in Harlem..then went back to our hotel after a five hour surgery..the hotel was in lower Manhattan...one hour away! Sure, I had surgery pain..but being that my surgery was uneventful, no need to stay in a hospital. The lady who went to NY with me for her adhesiolysis with Reich did the same....3 hour surgery...no reason to stay unless there are complications..BUT..I would plan to stay in the hotel a week before traveling.

You didn't read Markfords log of surgery in Scranton or you would have known this to be common practice and it would probabaly decreased a lot of fears for you. To be educated is to feel secure in knowing what is right or not...you have time to study that report....and it may help you lay some fears to rest and be able to look forward to getting well....
