Hello friends, I'm still pre op until sept 18 my big day ! My question is my dr said 4 weeks off to recover I'm not sure that's going to be enough time . I work on a highway crew, alot of manual physical labor involved with my job . Lifting shoveling and so on ! Is four weeks enough time to heal properly ? Anybody else have a physical demanding job ? There is no light duty work at my place of employment ..
