It is about my daughter who has had three lung collapses... We now have heard she is going into hospital on the 1st August to have her op...at last! Really hopefull it will cure the problem..although I know you said it could go again maybe in about five years time.
I will keep you updated ..... just one thing please... the hospital says that she will be in hospital a few days before sending home.. Then she must take it easy and cannot drive for about four weeks.? My question is will she need to have someone with her when she comes home to look after her for the four weeks or not so long.? She has three children at home but if she needs looking after I could move in with them for a while. Thankyou Brenda xx

"When you return home, you must make sure there is someone responsible with you for the first week, to look after you. If you live alone you could arrange to stay with a relative. If this is not possible, please tell us when you come to the pre-admission clinic so that arrangements can be made to give you some help at home.
Please arrange for someone to collect you from hospital and take you home. You will need to go home in either a car or taxi. This will be more comfortable for you, and also quicker for you to return to the hospital if there are any complications on the journey home"
