Driving 100 miles 3w5d post LSH/BSO
Is this unrealistic? It wouldn't be all at once, but I really want to attend my friend's daughter's birthday party.
20 miles to church
50 miles to my friend's house
30 miles to home
I already drive 15 miles to work and 15 miles back home every day.
Rhonda
ETA: DH would be doing the driving.

well, it would have been too much for me, but it sounds like you are in better shape than I was -- if you are managing to go to work, and are handling the driving, you sound as if your recovery is doing well, and I'm sure you are aware of the issues.
Why don't you see how you feel after church?
It's a help that your husband can do the driving. Can you sit in the front passenger seat and tilt it back so you can be partway reclining, and use a folded towel to cushion the seatbelt? And maybe find a bedroom to lie down in for a while at the birthday party?

You will pretty much know what you can and can't do. I went on a 200 mile trip at about 4 weeks post op. I then attended a family reunion all day long. I was pretty wiped out by the end of the day but recovered nicely after some rest.

I drove myself 100 miles at 2 1/2 weeks post op...had to go to the doctor. I did OK at the time, but the next day I was wiped out. My energy level was really low. I just rest when I feel the need.

I did it and did very well. I was surprised, but really glad that I was able to go. Not to mention my gift was a hit with the 3yr olds!!
