The big problem may be discomfort wearing your seatbelt. Your sternum isn't fully healed.
I can't even think of what I would do if I was shortly post-op.
On another matter:
Tribes
As Pellicle pointed out, tribal has a meaning that was completely missed when a reference was made to Native Americans.
I'm Jewish. I've been asked once or twice if I was an 'MOTT.' At first, I didn't know what MOTT meant - it means Member of the Tribe.
There are said to be 13 tribes of Israel - the Jewish people were forced to spread themselves across the world - largely for political reasons.
It might be argued that a certain political party backing a particular candidate and (I hate to make this political) some of the followers ignore this candidate's misdeeds, might be considered to be tribal - a tribe following its leader, with the idea that the leader is still a leader despite his numerous misdeeds and flaws. (Again, I don't want to get into specifics and don't want to make this TOO political or get blowback from anyone here - I'm just trying to give another example of tribalism).
In many cases, a lot of us are in 'tribes.' Being part of a tribe is comforting. It makes us feel like we're part of a larger group.
But, sorry, I've probably taken this 'tribal' thing a bit too far. And I'm afraid that my slightly veiled political reference may upset some people here.

One more thing - I don't speak Yiddish - I had a grandmother who did, and I've run into many people who do.
One of their sayings is 'Oy vey ismir.' Oy vey is something like 'it's too bad' or 'I've got troubles' or something like that (again, I don't speak Yiddish). Oy Vey Ismir means something like 'woe is me' (I just looked it up). The ismir (or is it izmir?) means 'is mine' or 'is me' or something like that. It's kind of amusing (to me, at least) that you're going back to Izmir. If you find someone there who speaks Yiddish, you may be able to get a more accurate translation.
So, if we take Izmir to mean is me, the city you're heading to really IS you.
