Too soon for theater therapy?

[Innervision]

Hi everyone, I am learning a lot and planning for my DS scheduled for 9/13/17. I love to go to live shows---music, plays, comedy, etc which I call "theater therapy." So, I found out tonight that there is something I would love to go to exactly 14 days following my DS. I know everyone heals differently, but in general, should I buy my ticket or pass? (The theater is a 4 mile drive from my house, parking within a block or so). What is the general consensus here?

Buy the ticket. If you can go, go. If not, you can give the ticket away to someone else when the day approaches.

Mine was open and I could have done it. I would do as @Settledownnow suggests.

At 2 weeks post I drove 80 miles, bought a new car, and drove home. And the car was manual/had a clutch. That's at least as much activity as going to the theater.

I will take your ticket if you can't go @Innervision

I would not have been able to go.

I would not have *wanted* to go because I wouldn't have been able to be comfortable or really enjoy it...

That, too. And, where are the restrooms?

That's another thing I'm concerned about since I have read about, but can't know for sure until I am living the switched life, the bathroom/gas sitch at that stage of the game. Thanks for your feedback everyone. I understand it will be recorded and I can watch it on-line at a later date from from the comfort and safety of my own bathroom. Lol!

I went to see Deadpoll about 7-10 days post op in NYC with a friend. I think I saw about 5 minutes of the movie because I fell asleep immediately, I was so exhausted. And I'd just come from spending the day sleeping.

It the ticket. I had my surgery 90 miles from home and the ride home from the hospital wasn't even an issue for me. I went to a baseball game 180 miles from home about 2.5-3 weeks out. The ONLY issue I had was the fact that my husband was enjoying delicious solid food and I was still stuck to purée and soft - baseball without a hotdog or nachos is just not baseball.

The theatre will be great. Enjoy the show!
