    Hi Cindy, I had a partial

    Hi Cindy, I had a partial nephrectomy in July and I still have pain and feel woozy.  The great thing about joining the discussion board is I learned everything I'm feeling is normal. I start driving last Thursday when I hit my third week, but just in town no more than 15 minutes.  I find it difficult and painful. I have a pillow to protect my incision, but turning the wheel and backing out kills.  I'm usually quite ill after a drive.  Best of luck ok you on your recovery. Good luck in your future job hunt.  Ps my mass was found by accident, a blessing in disguise that they found it early and we can move on from this

    Tiffany:
    Thanks. Your story

    Tiffany:

    Thanks. Your story sounds like mine. I tried driving a few minutes around the area in weeks 2 and 3 and it was fine. Many blessings to you.

    Cindy

    Bucket list

    You have a lot going on in your head. Let it drive you a little crazy. Then it will be out there and out of the way. After my nephrectomy, I was more concerned to get back to exercise, running and golf. Besides you can't have a Harley and not want to ride it. My goals were all short term. Now some people make bucket lists. Not me. I'm already a happy boy. Most bucket lists are made of unachievable goals. Something else to drive you crazy. Just take what is in front of you and enjoy the hell out of it. Live on my friend.

    Bucket lists...

    I made my bucket list acheivable.  I have accomplished most of it, all but the goal of traveling to all 50 states (missing KS and MO) and Seeing a total solar exclipse...that will take $$$ or time; 3 years and 10 days or about 10K. 

    Bucket lists are things I want to do, but put off because I was too busy.
