Linda underwent surgery and remained in the hospital for another two weeks. She continued her recovery in her friend’s residence. Two months later she was given clearance to travel. We then arranged for her return on business class accompanied by a non-medical escort. Wheelchair and porter services, as well as ground transfers at both ends were arranged to ease her journey.
