5 Months post surgery

Physical therapy going well, gaining strength but still pain after a session. took a chance yesterday and drove my car on city streets for the first time since my fall. gas pedal with my right foot and used cruise control once I got it up to speed. learning to use my left foot for braking. don't tell my doctor or physical therapist cuz I'm still not supposed to be behind the wheel but my goal is to be at the mall for Christmas shopping. have to start getting ready as time is getting short. Have A Great Day All

Your secret is safe with me. I won't tell your Dr.
But I hope you are not driving while on meds ?? 😉
@Teslin never, won't ever endanger another person

You just did... Every person near you as you are not in full control of the vehicle.... @saragoodtimes

Prayers for a speedy recovery for you.

And like you in the past I drove just like you did because I could no longer stand to be confined to home or to ask someone for a ride.

You are a month behind. Keep working on it and you should be 100% by Christmas.
I hate the malls etc. I do most if not all my Christmas shopping online.
@Confined nothing beats shopping the mall in person. won't be able to hit all the shops but will do my best
Hope the driving efforts go well. Pay attention if your body signals its not ready for that yet. You don"t want a set back after the progress you've made.
@BrandNewMan not ready to use my right foot on the brake yet but many do drive 2 footed

if your doctor says you shouldnt be driving you are being naughty!! just online shop this year. they wouldnt say it for no reason. you want it to heal properly dont you?

If you have an accident it will take much more tha Alan or his friends to help you... They will take your license away and possibly jail you as you are driving against medical orders... Im sure Alan will be way less than happy
braveheart21 · 61-69, M
@saragoodtimes have to do what the medical staff tell u... Alan would br be real pissed if you messed up... His colleagues would not be happy that his wife didn't take medical instruction
@braveheart21 5 months out of commission, I want Sara's life back
braveheart21 · 61-69, M
@saragoodtimes then Sara will have to damn well wait until she is fit enough to be safe doing whatever she wants to do and not risk killing some other poor person in the mean time...

Glad to hear you are healing.

continue healing and wear a smile as much as you can

I must feel good to get some independance!

Progress and have a great Friday as well
Be careful please...

The reason you're not supposed to be driving is because if you find yourself in a situation when you have to slam on your brakes... That could set you backwards by months😢😢😢😢

I am so glad to hear that you are improving. You know that you are in my prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
