Default I've got a week old Prius and can't drive or ride in it for month.

I had double spinal fusion in my lower back last Monday and I knew I
couldn't drive for a month but then the Doc said no riding either for 3
weeks. Bummer.

Well until you learn to put you toys away young man, you can't have your FOB back. So just sit and recover and think about what you have done.
Wait until your father gets home...

Dude, having L4, L5, and S1 completely corrupted in my lower back, I really do feel your pain. That what the drugs are for. Take it real easy, heal and get better.

The Prius wil be waiting fo you. Just have someone put a trickle charger on the battey if it sits for weeks on end... you want it t at least start when you day comes!!

Sorry about the back. At least you'll have plenty of time to read your owner's manual and hang out on PC. Get well soon.

Sorry to hear about the back. If it makes you feel any better I bought my Prius 8/1 and I haven't even seen it yet (and won't get to see/drive it until late November).

Mate that sux.
Do as the doc says and give yourself the best shot at recovery.
I hope your Prius doesn't miss you too much.
Are you allowed to peer through the windows?

Can you sit in it, not moving?
If so, play with the Nav as you go through that manual.

When you have trouble getting to sleep, begin reading the Owner's Manual (again).

Best wishes for a successful recovery, Gary

Ow! I truly feel your pain. My doc has started using the "S" word since I've started showing increased weakness in the leg, due to the stenosis. I've been happy to let the "House candy" take care of the pain, but getting out of Serenity is becoming more of a challenge.
At least I have insurance, eh.
