Good for her.

She may find the three hour trip home pretty tiring.. you might want
to have some soup on standby in case she just wants a snack then a lie
down and long sleep in her own bed.

Both of you take it easy. After surgery, coming home safe releases
accumulated stress so can be a bit of a roller coaster.
