I had a 17 day stay in the hospital (Day -4 through Day +13). Then we were required to stay within twenty minutes of the hospital for 80 days for many good reasons. I was going back to the hospital three days a week for a while, then that tapered to a couple of times a week and then once a week at the end. Treatment doesn't end with the transplant.
There is considerable information available on the internet explaining the procedure which varies depending on the facility and type of disease. You will get a lot of information prior to transplant. It will be very important to stay away from infectious diseases for quite a while. There is no way I could have gone back to work for several months after transplant.
