It is really funny how different doctors have such varying views of how long the patient has to wear that dang sling.

I ditched mine (with partial blessing of the doc's PA) after 2 1/2 weeks and started driving (though they told me at first, five - 8 weeks). I met a guy in therapy whose doctor told him everyone he operates on wears the thing for 16 weeks, minimum. Criminey, I'm not that far along yet ... and I'm semi-functional already. It seems there would be somewhat more of a concensus by now ... seeing as this is not a new procedure by any means. I understand some things are case-to-case basis ... but 2 1/2 weeks versus 16 weeks, and everything in between .. doesn't seem to make a lot of sense (to my admittedly fried brain!)
