I drove my daughter to school today, then I headed to walmart for extra strength liquid tylenol. I wound up talking to people there for about 1/2 hour. It was my 1st "field trip". I feel pretty good. Didnt take a perc this am. Just tylenol. It does get better every day!!!

Patty...I haven't driven yet, but I have been getting out everyday. Yesterday hubby and I went to the store to buy some PRUNE JUICE. I bet you can guess why. And, of course, it works.

My doc gave me liquid Lortab. I haven't been in much pain so I just take a dose at night and I sleep REALLLLLLY well. My husband got up early and left for work this morning. So I got my stepdaughter ready for school, made her breakfast and packed her lunch and then walked her to the bus stop. I feel really good and actually have to stop myself from doing too much.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing great too!

We are on our way!

Sounds like you both are doing great, and it only gets better every day.

I hear ya with the prune juice :ermm . I had my boyfriend pick me up some milk of magnesia the other day!!

I feel pretty good, I am so glad that you are too!!!

So is there a limit to how long you must wait to drive and how far?

No limit, Just no driving while taking pain pills.

I drove the morning after my surgery. I wasn't taking any pain meds though I was indeed sore. But the idea of my daughters NOT going to daycare that day was way worse than the pain, so I bit the bullet. :rolleyes

So glad to hear you both are doing so well. Sounds like you are bothrecovering quickly!!! You are deffinatly on youyr way!!

Nice to get your independence back, isn't it? So glad that you're doing so well!
