Reschedule. There is no need to add that stress to your life. You are going to have a lot going on...if the discharge is delayed or if you have a complication it sounds like you would be focused on missing the time with your daughter. I hope everything works out and the schedule comes together.
For me...i wanted to have surgery after my Suez Canal cruise that was more than a year of planning.
Waiting a few extra weeks was worth my mental health and lack of regrets.

Thanks for the feedback! I contacted the surgery coordinator to see if I could have it done any earlier. I have to be at her auditions and coherent enough to give her a pep talk, etc., but really don't want to push it back a month! Fingers crossed!!

As long has someone else will be driving then the answer is yes. I went to Home Depot, Target, Walmart, BJ's and Petsmart within 30 minutes of being released. Granted I was uncomfortable and rode around in the scooters but I would say yes. Just make sure someone else is driving. You may still feel a little out of it due to all the pain killers they provide you with.

Thanks for everyone's input. My daughter just turned 7 and this is such a big day for her, so I'll go ahead and reschedule the surgery. I know its just a 4 week delay but I am soooo ready!
