Is It Advisable To Travel After Brain Surgery And Series Of Small Strokes?

I do have a question...my father in law had brain surgery for a brain bleed in March 2011....he had many issues, including a series of small strokes, congestive heart failure and also had surgery for a large blood clot in his leg...he is doing much better and wants to take a 14 day pretty intense trip to Italy....we are concerned not only with the flight, but the intense travel with the tour...

Dear user,

thank you for your answer, great that your dad is doing better, best thing is to have him visit his doctor and do a medical check up on his situation, if his doctor after examining him allows him to travel then it will be ok. Meaning is a doctor has to examine him to make sure he is fit for traveling.

best regards.
