I'm saying this as within the next week or so I am putting in an order for this little baby ..
http://www.fiat.co.uk/showroom/?id=1...owroom/new_500 A white Fiat 500 Lounge .. with glass roof .. and the cutest of interiors .. AND most important of all, an automatic gear box, so I have need to use my left foot any more ! It takes 12 weeks from ordering to delivery as she is coming from Italy .. lala laaaa .. My Op .. no definite date as yet but likely to be April/May .. so she will be sat outside my window tempting me sorely... HAPPY HAPPY is not the word to USE .. I am blessed ! I am so blessed and I am so fotunate .. and I so appreciate this! |

BUT, it was many weeks after implant surgery before I drove. It would have been at least six, but I was still on morphine, and not wishing to be involved in a wreck where on a witness stand I would have to admit to use of morphine, I waited until complete withdrawal from all of those opiates before I drove...... otherwise, I was driven. But I do understand the temptation.

Gee, I am super envious of the car, as well as the waiting time for driving. I haven't driven since before Sept!! My second stim implant was in Dec and there is no way I am ready to drive (I can't even ride far!).
So, did you get that cool car?? It is very cute! |

I started driving two weeks after surgery. Really not that big of a difference than riding in a big comfortable sedan.

WOW! I have not driven since the day of my accident! which was 2/26/2009. I have toyed with the idea of getting hand controls for our van so I could drive it but I dont think I could handle taking the boys out by myself as they out-number, out-maneuver and out-run me! If I go out I go with my husband or his family, his 92 year old grandma takes me and the boys to the park and grocery store!!!
