i have seen women being wheeled is in wheelchairs from the royal women's to royal children's so if you felt ok, this would be one way of getting to see your bub. it would be less walking than walking to the car and then finding a car park near the rch and then walking up to nicu.
Do you have a digital camera and/or digital photo frame so you can have photos of bub with you?
I had a reaction to the morphine so it was 2 days until I could even keep my eyes open. In terms of when I got home, the first mini walk I did was at 3 weeks. When DS did come home I was also really bad about leaping out of bed everytime he cried at night. Really had to train myself to get out slowly, pulled a stitch and it hurt sooo bad.
In terms of not seeing your bubba, make sure its in your birth plan or the midwives are aware that you want to be wheeled to bubba as soon as possible. I did see some mums in SCN wheeled in on their hospital beds, I was taken in a wheelchair. To help with the seperation, take some photos (or have someone take them for you). I filled my house with printed photos as soon as I was released and bubba stayed. It helped alot. Hope bub doesnt stay to long in SCN and is home with you as soon as possible.
