12hr road trip 5 days post-op?
Hello all!
Surgery scheduled for July 3rd (thinking homerun fixation).
My family is asking me if I'll be up for a 12hr road trip 5 days later, lying down in the back across the bench seating.
Personally, I've never had lisfranc surgery, but this doesn't feel very realistic. I'm not sure how bad the pain and swelling would be, plus I can't imagine it's a good idea to be away from home for so long immediately after surgery due to any unforseen complications.
If I ask my surgeon what are the chances he says absolutely not?
I can tell my family no a million times but they'll just tell me how we can make it work blah blah blah and guilt trip me or throw adult tantrums about it, but if the surgeon himself says "F No!", they'd respect that.
I'm honestly nervous enough, and this just isn't making things any better.
Thank you so much for any help and insight you can provide!
