Yes I can drive. The main thing is doing the exercises you will need to do to strengthen muscles. Don’t get discouraged because it will take you some time but you will get there…and don’t let friends and family try to do everything for you….my husband was so afraid that I outdone fall or hurt myself I had to make him mad to let him know I wanted to try. I had a great therapist that knew my goal was to be able to walk and be independent and she worked me hard….but it was worth it….so keep a positive outlook and don’t let anyone discourage you.
