I will be going on a road trip about a month after surgery. God willing of course. I was concerned about the same thing. Would anyone advise against it. I know I will do all the driving since my hubby isn't taken the trip and I will have 3 small children with me. (ages 2, 8, and 9) I know I will have to pack healthy snacks and drink very little because I'm driving of course I don't want to keep stopping.
