Why is it important to have someone drive you home after a surgery?

It's important to have someone drive you home after surgery because anesthesia and pain medications can impair your coordination, judgment, and reaction times, making it unsafe for you to drive. Additionally, having a companion ensures that you have support for any immediate post-operative needs and can help monitor your condition as you recover. This also provides peace of mind, allowing you to focus on healing rather than navigating transportation.
