You will be fine to drive it back. You will get shitty gas mileage and mabye some smells and studdering, but if it wasnt doing it before, then dont worry. Get a new o2 sensor (or plug it in) and check that othercode when you get home.

how do i 'plug in' the o2 sensor?

i just recently had new head unit installed, and i just had to put new headlight bulbs in, nothing that would cause a cel... this is what bentley says for codes:

P1116 - O2 Sensor Heater Circ.,Bank1-Sensor1 Open
P0134 - O2 Sensor Circ.,Bank1-Sensor1 No Activity Detected

You probably need a new pre-cat O2 sensor. Its safe to drive it home and get it replaced there.
