Cam,
My wife was at home for 2 months after being released from the hospital following her matched-unrelated-donor transplant. It wasn't about driving, but about the risks of infection out in the world.
Perhaps that was overcautious, but we know another patient who ended up having health setbacks after taking unnecessary risks right after a transplant, contrary to doctors orders.
If you press the doctors they may relent on the stricter orders, but isn't sticking out the wait safer in the long run?
I'm glad you'll be done with the Hickman. It served its purpose and now you're safer without it.
