Can I drive myself home after surgery?

No. After surgery you will be under the influence of medications. It is dangerous to drive. If you do not have anyone to drive you home the surgery staff sometimes call a taxi. Tell the nurses in the surgery unit when you arrive how you expect to go home.  For safety reason many doctors will NOT allow you to go home in a  taxi unaccompanied.
