Back to work

[emiko_oz 62]

I chose my schedule. My doctor agreed if that's what I wanted. I have been fine - which I knew I would be. A little tired after work but I haven't missed a day. I walk 12k steps a day. I've lost 14lbs. I have 2 small boys to take care of also - sink or swim and I'm swimming and doing great !!! It's different for everyone I suppose !!!

I missed two days of work. I flew to Mexico Wednesday evening, had the surgery Thursday, flew home on a Sunday, and went back to work Monday. I have a desk job. On the first day back, I worked a shorter day, but after that, I was really fine.

I'm so happy to hear this !!! I had surgery on 9/11 Friday and went back to work on Monday.

I had surgery last Tuesday and was back to work this Monday. I work in management, so I move around the building a lot but don't really have a strenuous job.

I know everyone is different. I was able to get off the narcotic pain reliever on Wednesday (the night I came home) and switch to liquid tylenol. I think that helped me get back on my feet quicker.

My surgeon told me today 2 preferably 3 weeks. As long as I'm not on pain meds and tolerating Water and Protein well.
