Hi Adrienne, I'm in recovery after my wide area excision and 3 lymph nodes removed. Surgery was on July 21, I came home the next day. It's nearly been two weeks post surgery and I'm feeling pretty good. They did suggest not to drive for at least a week after surgery (also depends on your insurance policy). I drove a week later and I think it was a little too soon. Just wait until you are comfortable with your arm movement as turning the steering wheel can cause some ache. I went back a week later to have the wound redressed and had my post op appointment with the surgeon 10 days later to get my results.
Rest as much as you can and be gentle with yourself after. Good luck with surgery tomorrow. If you have any other worries or questions, I'll be happy to answer them.
