Hi there,
re. the traveling home I would advise....
1) Plan every step of the journey - give yourselves plenty of time.
2) Make sure husband is wearing comfortable clothes when he leaves hospital. Baggy jogging bottoms are ideal.
3) Make sure the catheter bag is as empty as possible before leaving the hospital
4) Use the facilities at the station - if need be before boarding the train
5) Book / get a seat close to the on-board facilities - just in cased you need them.
Your husband, if like me, won't have a lot of energy to do much else on the day.
Once home - REST! No bending, no lifting etc. Then gradually just "potter about", but don't over do things. Once his energy returns then some gentle short walks to build up strength.
