How soon can you travel after surgery? I am scheduled to make a trip home to St. Louis 4 weeks after surgery to take my mom home and we will be driving. Is there a time limit?

You should be fine to travel in four weeks.  Its the first week where being stationary for long periods is a no no because of the increased risks of blood clots. 

You'll need to plan for meals and frequent potty breaks as a newbie working to get the water in.  I was flying but being a month post op made no difference in my routine travel.
