How should I prepare for a long trip?
Hi,
I need tips on how to handle a roughly 17-hour trip (1st flight: 10h + 2h30 connection + 2nd flight: 1h).
My husband had a Lemaire procedure + a patellar tendon (BPTB) graft and will be 7 weeks pos surgery.
I wanted to get advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation. How was your knee bending at the time? Did you use ice on the plane? How did you handle inflammation? Did you take any medication for the pain? How bad was the pain?
Is there anything I should know in advance or any tips? Of course, he is in a much better condition now than he was during the first few weeks, but I am still very nervous about this situation since I don’t know what to expect.
He's of course taking anticoagulant before the flight and he is also going to use a wheelchair (airport service).
