Thank you! I wondered if I was being too optimistic...
I couldn't sit for longer than an hour or so at a time until about 6 weeks out. I did two long (12+) hour trips before 4 weeks and we stopped a LOT because of that. I would be concerned your butt will hurt and you won't be able to keep up with the flow if you get out of your chair. I otherwise felt fine.

A friend in MI wants to sign up for a 2-day painting class at a local historic resort. It's 10 to 4, 2-days in a row, probably sitting in folding chairs painting on easels. I will be 5 weeks post lbl and medial thigh lift (top half of thighs only). Do you think I'll feel up to it or be too uncomfortable for something like this?
