Doctoral class and sleeve?

[SimplyFAB 83]

Hey guys! I'm a doctoral student that will be having her surgery on Thursday and have an assignment due Sunday. It consists of a lot of research. Will I be able to work from bed or will this task be impossible? I told my professors about my situation but didn't ask for extra time being that my surgery has already been switched once and they had already extended my time once.

I postponed my surgery until after I'd completed grad school...I didn't take any chances...

with any surgery there is the risk of complications so I decided I'd wait...

Yikes! I feel your concern, I'm in grad school as well and the timing could not be worse. Spring '13 started on the 14th for me. I had my surgery on the 16th, got discharged on the 17th, and had a paper due 19th. It is manageable, just stay focused. Good luck!

I just finished grad school in December. I can't imagine the recovery and grad school. Props to you! My surgery isn't until March so I can't answer your question. But, I wouldn't take any chances. Is there any way you could get the assignment done prior to?

I am in my surgical residency and took one week off. I have a lot of research to do and I was foggy for the first few days. sleep was my best friend. My memory was not the best.
