Sosewsue61 3,185 Posted July 17, 2018 Teacher? Or support staff? Sitting, bending, lifting? You can't pick up anything with any weight for many weeks. Being dehydrated is a big risk, unless you can drink/sip constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY the first few weeks you risk hospitalization with an IV. I was dizzy and needed naps the first two weeks, not much pain but serious adjustments to getting fluids, lots of gas - I'm talking blow acrossed the room tuba gas, and difficulty pooping. I would also suggest surgery two weeks earlier or take two weeks off work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
