How long after surgery before you were able to drive? 11 days until surgery and I'm trying to get everything organised for the kids.

Thanks in advance

i drove the next morning. didn't go far, just up to my pharmacy to get my pain meds, i'd suggest getting them filled in advance.

either way - it was difficult & i think by day 4 i was able to run out for another short trip; day 10 i had a post op appt and was completely fine for a longer ride.
