I am accompanying someone to a major medical center for their heart surgery (at this point minimally invasive repair of life threatening damage related to their military service). It is about 500 miles from where I currently live. We will travel there and back about 500 miles likely by bus and train since it will be risky for them to fly.
We will spend at least 2 weeks in an hotel at the hospital. Any tips that would be good to know? One friend suggested bringing a heating blanket. That was a great idea. Any other tips?
What might they want to wear in the hospital and otherwise, eat after surgery, etc. ?
