Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 Hi guys, Just thought I'd say hi to all and ask a question that came up as I was reading the manual. It says that we aren't supposed to drive for two weeks or until we feel up to it. Two weeks seems like a long time to someone like me who almost lives in their car, running errands, shopping, driving kids everywhere......... Does it really take that long to feel strong enough to get back to a normal routine? Thanks, Elaine (MGB 01/08/01) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 Elaine: I drove before two weeks. I had a wicked case of cabin fever and I'd have hitchhiked if I'd had to to get out of the house and out from under my husband's watchful eye! It depends on how you feel! I know folks that drove home from Durham..probably not the best thing to do but apparently it worked out ok.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2000 Report Share Posted December 10, 2000 I know I'm a " bad Andy " but I drove my friend to the airport on 11/11--my surgery was on 11/9. I had no problem. But you know how your body works--if you feel dizzy don't drive. Just my opinion love, sperb >>> elaine711@... 12/10/00 07:54PM >>> Hi guys, Just thought I'd say hi to all and ask a question that came up as I was reading the manual.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Elaine: I drove after one week and I was fine. I think it is up to how your body feels (strength, energy, etc). Since a lot of us go back to work after 1 week, driving by then is fine. Christy / CA MGB 11-8-00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Elaine, I also live in my car, I actually drive to shows when I work, but I did wait 10 dys after surgery. Even riding in a car made my stomach a little sore, so I am sure driving would have been a little too much. Take your time, listen to your body.. it will tell you!

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2000 Report Share Posted December 11, 2000 Flo, Thanks for the info. I feel relieved to hear that the two weeks isn't necessarily a standard.
