recovery/destination authority

Build the recovery environment before you build the itinerary.

Where you stay and how you get support can matter more than the destination view during the first part of recovery.

Days 0–3

Prioritize clinical instructions, medications, hydration, mobility restrictions, and immediate follow-up. Do not schedule sightseeing by default.

Early recovery

Choose accommodation for access, stairs/elevators, kitchen needs, caregiver support, transport, pharmacy access, and proximity to follow-up.

Flight-home decision

Use the treating clinician's clearance and procedure-specific risks, not a prebooked vacation schedule, to decide when to fly.

Recovery timelines vary by procedure and person. This planner is logistical, not medical advice.
