So I go back to work tomorrow..

and you bet I'm a little nervous!

I'm an RN in the ER.

so...I already talked with my paramedics, they are going to do the lifting, I'm still resticted to 20 lbs for lifting.

New rule, no fluids at the ER desk..

so it will be a long night of me running back and forth to the break room..*sigh*

but I'll get thru this..

hello? I got thru precertification I can get thru ANYTHING.

LOL

Have a grand protein filled weekend!!

Congratulations on going back to work and think of running back and forth to the break room as extra steps to count towards your exercise!

I ended up having a hiatal hernia, which wasn't expected! So I was in the hospital for 2 days. I was off work about 10 days, which for some is too long, but just about right for me. I am still on a 20 lb weight restriction .But I go to the dr tomorrow for my first check up so I'll find out then how I'm doing!

My doctor recommened about 2 weeks off, the port is sew directly into muscle so that' is about the sorest spot I have.

To me it doesn't seem like you are off long at all...but everyone is different!
