I'm DRIVING....

So for 48 hours I've not put a narcotic in my body except Tylenol 3 at bedtime the other night. I got into my truck for the first time today- since October 26th and started it up and am at the Library looking for books to read. Did great, went slow, and everything is clear. I am taking my time, playing on the computer at the library and my only other stop is to drop off my FSA (flex spending acct) reimbursement forms. Then home. That is all i'm doing today. And i feel good...taking it very very slow. Nothing else to report, other than I am glad to be home....thanks to my 'FRIEND' who put up with me and my emotions and feeding me, caring for me and bringing me home yesterday....you know who you are and i'm glad we got your puter to work!! Hugs all Stacey

Stacey, Sounds like you are getting along well. Glad to hear that you are doing so good. Congrats on driving again! I can't imagine not driving for that long.... Take it easy and make sure you don't do too much... Shawn M.

Wow now you be careful young lady. lol I bet it feels good to be helping yourself out now and not so dependit on others. Just dont over do it. Hugs Debbie M

Things went good, I took my time, though I wanted my truck washed so badly I passed (not self serve- DUH!) .....I did run my 2 errands and came home and took some Tyl (reg) and have been napping since I got home. Feel ok, not worn out, and planning a nice warm dinner...chicken noodle soup Mom made while she was here YUM Stacey

((((stacey)))) are you supposed to be driving already????? you be careful or you will not heal nice!!!!! glad you are home and hope you feel better soon!!!! hugs judy

I asked Dr DiNick this past post op when I could drive. he said 48 hours after I'm done with the percocet. I have not had any since Sunday. which is 48 hours. I didnt go far, and i took my sweet time doing it. I would not drive if he had said not to...simply put, I follow his orders because he knows what's best and because I have HIGH respect for him and his work! thank you for caring to ask!!! Stacey

yea Stacey-- sounds like you are doing just great..am glad you are home..that alwasy helps one start to feel more normal too! you go girl! hug rae
