In fact, that's what I do now - use the steering wheel to haul myself up and
in. I won't be able to put that kind of stress on my back after the surgery,
though, for at least 6 weeks at a minimum.

Of course, I won't be driving during that time either - I'll be the
passenger and my 17 year old will be "mom's chauffeur" for anywhere I need
to go. Still will need to get in/out, whether that's passenger side or
slider. I'm thinking  a small step stool will be the way to go. It'll work
once I do get to drive, too, I think.
