How long until you drove again?

[Mid West 99]

I'm hoping to go back to work for a few hours on Monday. That'll be 11 days post-op. I have no discomfort so am thinking I'll drive. It's only 15 mins each way. How long until you drove again?

My doctor cleared me to drive at my one week post-op appt. They are really only concerned with whether or not you are still taking pain meds. If you are you can't drive. If you're not it's okay.

I had surgery on a Wednesday, quit taking pain meds the following Sunday, started driving on Monday.
