How soon can I start driving again and what is the correct way of getting in and out of the car?
Usually, it is safe enough to drive about 3 weeks after any operation depending on how confident you feel and your ability to do an emergency stop. To get into the car: Stand with the back of your legs close to the car seat; Bend forwards from the hips; Bend your knees; Sit backwards into the car seat using your hands on the car door frame to steady yourself. Pull in your tummy muscles and lift one leg into the car then slowly lift the second leg. Get out of the car in the same way and make sure you stand up straight before walking away.
