1st fill question

[fhce13 0]

My 1st fill that was cancelled yesterday due to the snow storm was rescheduled for the 17th. My doctor is about 1 1/2 hours away. Will I be okay driving myself home afterwards?? My husband was going to take me yesterday but can not get the 17th off. I have no idea what to expect as this is my first fill. Any input is appreciated. Leslie

Had my 1st fill on Monday on my lunch hour and went right back to work. You can drive yourself home with no problem. It is just like getting a injection or getting a blood test. Tiny needle and Fluid injected into the port.

Oh yeah, you can drive. My fills are done with a local shot for pain but it hurts about as much as a regular shot. So if you can get a flu shot and then drive home you can have a fill and drive home. Don't be scared, there is a lady that I play cards with that told me how bad the fills were so when I went for my first one I was so scared. Of course it was no big deal with the local anesthetic. In and out in 10 minutes.

the only thing you should have to worry about is what you are eating the rest of that day. I have had 3 fills so far and have driven myself straight from the doctor's office to the gym and worked out for an hour. I guess everyone is different and someone may tell you that they were not able to drive themselves but I don't think you should have any problems.

I always drive myself... It very simple... Fill days are just like any other day for me except I get to drink broth all day afterwards... I work, shop, excersise, drive.... I even eat a good Breakfast before I go... There's no problems or issues for me... But everyone is different... So you do what you feel is comfortable for you....

I was very nervous and scared the first time... Almost to the point of a panic attack and almost to the point of cancelling and rescheduling... But it turned out to be easy peasy....
