Singing In The Choir After Surgery??

Good morning. So my surgery is Monday morning at 7:30am and with God's help everything will be fine and I will go home on Tuesday per my insurance. For those who sing in the church choir, would I be able to sing that following Sunday which is Easter Sunday? I really don't want to miss church. Please help.

I think you should be able to, the first 3 days were harder, then it got better, by day 7 or 8 I was feeling great. You'll be several days post-op, so it should be fine!!

Good luck, I am so happy with the band and know you will be too.

you might have to adjust a little on breath-control. A week or two after my surgery, I was singing at church and realized I wasn't controlling my as well. That has pretty much subsided now.

I would say so! Will you need to stand through the whole service or just for the songs? If you normally stand I would have a chair in the event you feel weak.

Along those lines...I was wondering about taking communion...Pre-op and post-op will it mess me up? We have wine and grape juice (I usually choose the grape juice) and a glueten free bread. Any thoughts?...We commune weekly.
