[QUOTE="dipsydo, post: 1374573, member: 371312"] I am seriously impressed that you were able to go home after a day, I was in for 2 and half days and thought I had done well. Yes the anesthetic /meds probably made you sick, it can be the meds if particularly they are morphine based . I did not start driving until 5 weeks and I did tell my insurance company as it was less than the normal 6 weeks which is recommended by some medical sources - my surgeon had said I could drive when I felt comfortable, the physio said do not go in car until 6 weeks! So I went with my surgeons view. I was off all painkillers(apart from the occasional paracetemol ) as being on heavy duty painkillers can be the other issue about driving, You might also find that your HbA1c is higher than you expect if you have one within 3 months of the operation as your body can respond to the stress, Looking forward having had your hips replaced hopefully you will find life is so much better pain free from that source. I wish you a good recovery [/QUOTE]
