Driving
It is almost four weeks since my mastectomy. I want to have a go at driving my car but not sure of the timeframe. My surgeon said not to jump into the car straight away because if I had an accident so...
Hubby drove me home after a shoulder procedure and went over a petrol station gutter/entrance so fast my head almost hit the roof & I thought I’d busted the surgery (I didn’t know about the cushion back then and hadn’t braced for it either!) ... so I figured it was safer for me to drive home after my lumpectomy as I wasn’t really too disadvantaged! Plus it wasn’t affected by the seat belt either! Surgeon had mentioned a break from driving but not dictated how long ... so a week it was!
