How long were you off work?

[Cottoneye 0]

I took 3 weeks off because I have a bendy and twisty job and ended up really hurting my left side and needed 4 more weeks of extreme pain and many painkillers before I could go back. However long you take, just make sure you are strong and well before or you could do some seriously painful damage!

I went back today, one week out, and I could only handle about four hours. Mostly due to some pain at the site of the largest incision, and extreme fatigue. I'm going back tomorrow, and Im going to play it by ear.

Oh, I will be. They already know I'm coming off surgery and that I'll be heading home if I don't feel well.

Well, I worked Tuesday and yesterday and was fine, just a little tired in the afternoon. I am, however, glad that I'm off until Saturday.

I had my surgery on June 15 and returned to work on June 29. It was too soon and I really needed another week especially since I had a throat infection. I was very fatigued the first 2 weeks back to work and still do not have my stamina totally back at 8 weeks post op. It is harder to get in all the fluids at work than it is at home.

I have a sedentary desk job.
