Has anyone driven hime after surgery? Surgeon said I could drive home with catheter as long as I didnt take narcotics. Its about 2 hours.

That is a long drive, DL. It is a risk at best. Are you able to find a driver? Uber wasn't around in 2009, but fortunately my wife was,

I'm with Michael on that DL. My Uro told me to have a driver. Can't recall just how long, but It was awhile before I drove.

I don't think that is a good idea.

Yeah...
Fresh out of the hospital and dragging your catheter bottle around. Two hours drive when you should be relaxing while someone else drives. I guess the drive is doable yourself, but it doesn't seem recommended.

I hope your recovery goes well!

PS,
If you do drive, remember that the bottle/bag needs to stay lower than your junk! 🙂

Since this is a duplicate thread I'm gonna lock it and encourage folks to respond to the other one which has more responses already.

P. S. It's pretty clear that our members think this is a lousy idea!
