FINALLY DRIVING AGAIN !

Goodie2shoes · ‎04-30-2012

I'm finally completely off the cane and drove my car for the first time today since my Rt knee replacement 9/30. I drove myself to therapy and back, no big problems or pain. It felt so good to be behind the wheel again and be independent

Good for You!

I'm afraid I have that knee replacement surgery on both knees in my future.

Sounds great to me. Just a bit under 8 weeks is encouraging to tell my wife. At not quite 3 weeks post surgery, she doesn't have that much optimism, yet! I try passing my big time optimism to her, unfortunately that is not possible.

I really am sure she likes me being her chauffeur, at least now anyways. Driving a lot ain't my thing anymore, I do as little as possible to get everything done.

Always happy to hear good news here. Thanks for sharing, and a BIG congrats on your progress.

Not being able to drive is very frustrating.

I was lucky when I had knee surgery--I got to drive after 3 weeks. But hip surgery--a full 6 weeks!

Getting into your own car and going where you want to is a great freedom!

@Goodie2shoes Congratulations! It's one thing if not driving is your choice, but not be allowed to is something else.

I can't envision driving yet. What really sux is I have a brandy new Honda HRV at my disposal ,thanks to DD, and I can't take advantage of it for a good six weeks.

Enjoy having your freedom back.

Congratulations. I was driving at 4 weeks after my right knee replacement. It feels so good to know you can just go someplace without having to be escorted. Enjoy your freedom.

I love how each doctor does things differently. When I had my knees done I asked the doctor when I could drive and he said "you have to be off narcotics." So I was driving a week after I got home both times.
