I was right to drive after a couple of weeks but I only did short trips to the chemist/supermarket and I didn't take Gab with me.
In the first few days I was still pretty spaced out by the pain medication (not like fully high or anything... just "not myself" iykwim?) and the whole experience was a little overwhelming. I remember feeling a little "wrong" just being out in the big, wide world for a while.
It's definitely just an insurance issue for not driving for at least 6 weeks. I think, even then, it's only an issue if it's against doctor's advice? Definitely ring your insurer if you're not sure. I didn't... but I guess that was a bit nordy ;)

Wow, I don't think they told me about not driving. I didn't really drive though cos I could just walk up the road to the shop.
I was walking 2 days after c/s...for me it was way to painful to stand before that. I felt stiff and had to remember to hold my tummy if I wanted to sneeze or cough cos that hurt. I found getting to the sitting down on the lounge and getting up a bit uncomfortable for a little while but I healed very neatly and quite fast. As for numbness....13 years later and more around the ends on where the incision was made is still numby.
