Hey Sweet,
I think it's great that you are not only getting out, but getting pampered too!
Enjoy it! Don't worry so much about resting your bottom. It hasn't made much difference so far, so perhaps it is more important to keep busy and then the blood gets circulated more?
I wrote a topic about meditation just now.
I believe praying is a lot like meditation, but perhaps it would work better for you to go to the church to do it? THen you get out as well.
Don't worry about the car ride. It may feel sore, but I don't think a short ride here or there can worsen anything. It's just good to get out.
Glad to hear you are careful with the xanax.
Have a great day!

p.s. I wouldn't recommend the hydrocortizone myself.
