I ended up taking two weeks off from work. I can't bend either if I drop the soap I scream for someone to help me get it. My abdomen and back hurts. I have found it hard to sit straight up for long periods of time.- How Much Time Off Work?
I tried to go back after one week and my incisions got inflamed and my entire body was sore. I ended up taking two weeks off. I have a desk job, but I have found sitting straight up for long periods hurts my abdomen and back. Some people have gone back sooner but it made me sicker. Had three babies and returned to work the same week. This surg really has got me down. Kim- To Stretch Or Not To Stretch...
- 10 Days Out.... Should I Feel This Way?
Nope I am 8 days out for me and I went to work for one day and my incisions got inflamed and irritated and my abdomen hurts if I move to quick or even try to bend. I had a hernia repaired and it hurts the most. I see so many people feeling great going to back to work but that is not the case for me. I am so thirsty I can't quench my thirst.
