    I was told I could drive the day after catheter was removed.

    And I did.

    But was very conscious of NOT lifting anything heavier than a couple of kilograms, so grocery shopping meant I had to be accompanied by someone.

    Hi Gregg, its great you feel well enough to go out in the car. please remember that if you drive before the time period suggested by your doctor and are involved in an accident your car insurance may well be void. You could also potentialy face court action for driving against medical advice. I have had the same issue so know how you feel.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
