Can I pull in my Abs while sitting post laminotomy ?

My surgeon's office didn't say anything about riding in a car, although I have read elsewhere that I shouldn't do that until two weeks after surgery. What is the consensus ? I will message the PA in the morning, Monday.

@annie1 I think a grabber would work well for you for pulling up blankets and picking things up. You could use it to put clothes in a washing machine & drier, etc. The success of your surgery depends on following your surgeon’s recommendations and it’s better to err on the cautious side. It’s not forever; just until the bones heal together and you need that for strength for your spine. You have one chance to heal correctly.
