    What was the opinion of the surgeon? Is 2 days after repair enough time to jump on a plane?

    I think you might want to allocate more time for hernia repair recovery. Another thread discussed a 4 week recovery time before the patient was able to drive comfortably.

    Perhaps there’s a clinic in the Bay Area that performs the tinnitus treatment?

    Hi dear Mo, Ezzy and Jeremy and all my friends ..Well i was thinking to do a surgery with dr,Brown on wednesday ..check with him on friday and fly to florida 5 hours fly time ..to do laser treatment for my ears ringing ..other problem. :{.. I will need stay they 10 days. Go to doctor 2 times per day for 30 min treatment…http://functionalcranialrelease.com/inner-ear-treatments-laser-therapy/ like this So not sure if it is realistic for me to do.?

    I had Desarda surgery on a Friday, and I was able to take an 8 hour car ride the following Monday — but I wasn’t driving, and I was able to keep an ice pack going on my groin most of the time. The first week I was not in shape to do anything but sleep, watch movies and do an occasional, very slow walk around the house. I am not saying you can’t pull it off, but knowing what I went through, there is NO way I could do your schedule. It would have been much too uncomfortable.
