Shhh... I won't tell John about the duct tape idea..I'm sure he was thinking "muzzle" cause I've been back seat driving since June and I think he's very tempted to "accidently" open the passenger side door as he drives! Tim's driving and going to PT already? That's impressive! My next check up is Aug 3. I still can't drive or bend or lift cause of the sensitivity in my back. I'm so elated that his surgery went well! I know you both are relieved! {Hugs} to my fellow "back" guy!
