I would be VERY careful about driving because if you get rear=ended, that could REALLY damage things! You need to be quite careful. If possible, keep your driving to a minimum. There are some real crazy drivers out there!

Just use your head, and if you don't NEED to drive, don't. And of course after your surgery, you won't be able to drive for some time. Your doctor will give you the time limit. Make sure to ask him cause if he does fuse, you could really mess up the fusing process if you're in an accident!!!

When do you see your doctor for his decision whether or not to fuse, etc?
I'm sure you're getting anxious. I'll be interested to hear what he's going to do. I hope he's not going to fuse. Let me know, ok? Hugs, Lee
