AS for the driving, I drove myself to all of my treatments everyday. I seem to be different than most. Pain meds have still not bothered me. Could be I am just too hardheaded to let them. LOL having to talk with a Dr about my bottom jaw being removed me is bothering me tho. But I will make it thru just like some others in the forums. Good luck with everything NMT and got you in my prayers.
