Anyone take a Lyft or Uber or cab to the hospital or home? I know this sounds silly, and I could ask a friend or family member to get me there, but why if it's not needed? They plan on coming and saying hello to me when I'm out of surgery in the hospital and post op at home. I'm just wondering if it's "weird" or a big deal if I just handle it on my own (as long as I'm not driving myself obviously).
I did go alone in a lyft, no issue but when it got to the moment i did get a little anxious and started crying. My surgeon personally tended to me, it wasn't like i was going to change my mind, i guess the anticipation of going under the knife got to me, we prepare for months to years for this day. But all in all i had a good experience. I went home in less then 48hrs assisted , trust me the pain after will require that you be escorted home, so plan for that. Still took a cab home though so my boyfriend could sit in the back with me just incase and could assist me out the car. Cause the pain is no joke.
