K K,
I never heard of giving yourself shots until you, which Jess confirmed. BTW, you shouldn't judge how quickly you will or will not heal by anyone else. We are all very different. This isn't an easy surgery and the healing rates are so varied I don't think anything is a given. Jess is on the very quick end of the spectrum, I fell toward the other end. Three months is a good estimate.
As for driving, sitting may be difficult or not. Again, healing is individual.
You might also consider a raised toilet seat for a couple of months. I was told to use one after all my back surgeries.
You might consider looking on the internet. Buying anything and having it delivered is pretty easy.
Good luck to you, Dale
