Driving...

[readyforthin 28]

I'm post op day 3 right now. Drove for like 10 min to get the mail and pick something up from a friend. Yeah. That's not comfortable at all! Any tips to make it easier? I have to drive 45 min each way for something tomorrow. :/

Don't take pain meds.

[readyforthin 28]

Lol no. Wouldn't attempt that one. I will probably take some liquid Motrin but that's all.

Pls be careful! My doc said no driving for ten days.

[readyforthin 28]

Wow! Really? Mine only said 24 hours and then obviously not when taking pain meds. There's no way I could go 10 days without driving. I'm a single mom. There's no one else to do the driving for me. I had a hard time even getting rides for my EGD and my surgery.

I guess it depends on your doctor. I was driving the next day. And by day 2 drove about 200 miles, but totally agree with the no pain meds
