How long before...

You felt like leaving the house? We have outdoors concert tickets to the ISO 10 days after my surgery. With a combo of being on the ground and in the heat; I wonder if ill even be able to go. Thanks!

Peace

I started feeling pretty good by a week and a half post op. I went back to work at two weeks. Now when you say "With a combo of being on the ground . ." do you mean you will actually be sitting on the ground? That may be uncomfortable getting up/down depending on how sore you are after surgery. If you have a folding chair/camp chair that might work out better for you.

I am 10 days post op and I passed up a concert tonight I got free tickets for. Not that I feel horrible. Just uncomfortable, and it's a LONG walk to the stage. And my energy I way down from what it was. But everyone's different! I could have pushed myself, but I think I made the best decision.

I am 4 weeks post-op and still cannot trust myself to leave the house for too long. Last time, I left for errands, I could barely make it thru the store from exhaustion and dehydration, add the 1000F freaking heat to the mix. Luckily, my MIL was with me the whole time.

If you do decide to go, take with you plenty of liquids and maybe one of those camping foldable chairs.
