Saffy, I'm so sorry that you can't drive right now. None of us likes to have any of our independence taken away, especially since all of us here have already lost things like jobs, ability to participate in activities we once enjoyed, etc. I'll be praying that this is only a temporary measure, and that very soon you will get that pain under control and be able to cut back (or maybe even eliminate) the meds so that you can drive again!
Big hugs,
Jan
