I am getting closer to my surgery each day. I have so much to do to get my house ready for me being off my feet for a while. Does anyone know how long before I can drive and go back to exercising???:biggrin:

Hi,

I had my surgery 11 days ago I started walking around the ward 3 hours after surgery and have walked on my treadmill daily since now up to 2.5km a day, My surgeon advises to get up and about as soon as you can as it helps the healing process and he says that you can drive as soon as you are moving around freely.... I started driving 5 days post op.

This may not be the same for everyone but in my case I think the walking has made a great contribution to the way I am healing as I feel great.....

Best of luck

Dewberry :thumbup:
