I went home after 5 days. Had the surgery on a Sunday afternoon and was discharged on a Friday afternoon. Loyola U. Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois.
I wish continued good health to your brother!
..and to you also. My brother had his surgery at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. They have a large statue of her on the top of the hospital and light the statue up every time they perform a transplant. They had a very high recovery rate. My brother eventually learned who his donor was. Amazing they shared quite a few things in common including hunting and fishing.
