Recovery time

How long after surgery did it take you to return to your normal life(work, school, exercise, etc....)?

How long were you bed ridden for?

Bed ridden day of surgery up walking for hours first night (snoring roomate). Worked one week later (from home) in the office 2 weeks later.

I was up and walking within hours of getting to my hospital room. I was sent home the day after surgery, and was walking quite a bit form that day forward. My surgery was on Tuesday, and I was doing laundry that Sunday. I went back to work 8 days post op, and have been fine.

I went back after 5 days but I have a desk job. I still had some incision pain but nothing too bad.

I was up walking about 4 hours after getting to my room. Hospital stay was 2 days. Stayed on the couch downstairs for a little less than a week because our bedroom is upstairs and didn't want to climb the stairs. Within a week I was cleaning the house and work related items seeing how I work from home.

very simular to all others. walking within a few hours of waking up. hospital for two days and back to work in 7. had a desk job. I will add that I was pretty tired for about 3 weeks and only went to work and did the min around the house after work. got in plenty of Protein drinks and Jello broths etc so no cooking was needed thank goodness. walked the hallway at work during lunch and in the morning break time so I could get in my exercise. sure did not feel like it after working 8 hours. was a little tender for a few weeks but no pain.
