Very true -- after I fractured my pelvis and had surgery, I was non weight-bearing on the right side for 8 weeks. I got in-home PT (great!) and was not released to drive until the time was up. I didn't mind it one bit as it meant I got to work from home (once I was off pain meds and able to sit up long enough at a computer) instead of going back into the office!
