Driving after surgery

How soon after surgery were yall driving? My dr said least 7 days. I'm having surgery in October and I'm kinda freaking bc 7 days is a long time. I have 5 kids so we are always on the go.

My doc said 5 days if not on any narcotics. It was 6 days when I drove, probably sooner but husband on vacation and he always drives when we are together.

I drove 3 days after surgery but wasn't on any pain meds by then.
