Post Op Assistance

how long did each of you require someone's assistance after your surgery...is 3 or 4 days after hospital enough? I live alone and I'm trying to find a friend that can pick me up from the hospital and stay with me but need to know a realistic number of days assuming everything goes well..... I hear a week so I'm thinking 2 days in the hospital & 3 or 4 atmy house should be enough...what r thoughts
