Here's a quick piece of advice: NEVER drive your Lotus only a couple of weeks after major surgery. You will be sorry.

ehh, I did it the same day.... That is if you can call having wisdom teeth removed "major" surgery. Come to think of it I bet the pain killers were kicking in by then.

I tried to go see the surgeon for a post-op office visit four days after abdominal surgery. I made it about half way into the car and decided this was not going to be a good experience. I called a cab.

Exactly. I decided since it was nice out the other day to try and take the Elise for a spin. The thing is, I was only 2 weeks from the kidney transplant I had done. I thought I was going to pop my staples out. That ride did not last real long. :crazyeyes

one thought "DUH"...esp with abdominal Sx. that's just silly...

I did a surgery on my lower back plus a epidural and drove the same day ... did not want to not drive my car ...

I can’t imagine the pain… I have difficulty getting in and out of my Exige after I eat Mexican…

Up and going out for a drive after a Kidney transplant…:crazyeyes I would still be medicated…

Haha, yeah I think it was Wednesday. It may have reached 50º here.

 

[EliseAtLeast]

It hurts more not to drive it :shift:

They do amazing things these days with laparoscopic surgery (but it was still a dumb idea).

Hey Cardinal,

Glad the surgery is done! Congratulations on a speedy recovery.

Should this go in the DD/ general info sticky? Glad to hear that you are on the mend and determined to get back in the saddle!

 

[Noisycow]

Get a Cayman S for post surgery days!

Hey Cardinal,

Glad the surgery is done! Congratulations on a speedy recovery.

Thanks! I am getting better everyday.

Such is the power of the Lotus! Even after major surgery, it's hard to resist!
Congrats on the successful surgery-get back in the saddle soon.

Well on the bright side...It's only a little bit of Physical pain that'll go away soon right? Think about loving a Lotus for a year or so, and NOT HAVING A LICENSE :sad: The emotional pain will never go away xD

I could see how you could get in and be found dead trying to get out.

Hope You feel better soon. Pitchers and catchers already reported to Spring training. Go Sox!!

You and I should start a support group for organ transplant recipients who also own Elises! :up:

Congratulations on your new lease on life and good luck with your recovery...
