Post-Op Pain
YOU CAN NOT DRIVE YOURSELF HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dr. P. will have you on some very strong IV pain killers until shortly before you leave the hospital. You will not be able to drive for at least a week, it may have been even two weeks before I was cleared to drive. You may even fall asleep on the ride home, you will not be any shape to drive, you will be much less alert than if you drank 5 Long Island Ice Teas.
Please Please Please make sure you have someone to drive you home or maybe take a taxi. The pain was not that bad for me, but it will be several days at home before you feel up to taking care of yourself.

Whew, glad you got that worked out. Had me terrified for a moment there.
