Supernovae 34 Posted August 1, 2017 Hey, I'm having my surgery in a couple weeks and want to know if anyone has worked from home after their surgery? I have just come back from annual leave and this surgery is kinda fast moving and I didn't expect to be booked in so fast. I can't take any leave so planning on working from home. I'm just worried I'll be so sleepy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Missy161 395 Posted August 1, 2017 I worked from home- my brain wasn't normal though right away- foggy, forgetful just not all there. I could work for short stints but because I work in a troubleshooting, figured out what went wrong kind of job I wasn't at my best. If you can take lots of breaks and rest you should be able to do it.Mich WHw 223, SW 217 CW 195 GW 135 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CraftyScientist 6 Posted August 1, 2017 Yes, it really depends on your job. I have a friend who was back in 5 days, but she's got a desk-type job; she said she was extremely tired due to the low caloric intake & practically zero Protein & carbs that week, but she was otherwise fine. Myself on the other hand, I took 8 weeks. That's what my doc recommended, and I work in a busy hospital laboratory where I'm standing most of the day. I felt strong enough to go back after about 3 weeks, but my mother passed away 2 weeks after my surgery so I stayed out for the full 8 weeks to take care of all of that. Good luck!
