Good morning to all. How long before you could drive? Was your thinking cloudy for a while?

It was 4 weeks for me. The reason given was that if you are in an accident (Heaven forbid), your healing sternum could easily be injured. I hated to depend on my husband and friends, but it was necessary. I don't remember cloudy thinking, but was told to make no major life or financial decisions for an unremembered period of time.
