Is anyone else nervous about driving after a month and a half. Especially in winter slippery roads kind of weather. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this or not but I am not a fan of driving in the winter. Now after my TKR my Physio guy says I can drive now and my husband and some friends think I should be driving BUT, I am nervous that my knee is not ready and I sure don't want to damage it in any way because I don't want to go through this again with this knee. Bad enough that I have to have the other one done sometime this year.

    If you don't feel you're ready to drive, don't!  I was given the all clear to drive at 6 weeks, but he said "when you're ready".  It was summer, so no problem with snow or ice, but I didn't feel my knee was up to it till 9 weeks.
