I'm a piano teacher. I teach lessons from my home and only have 6 students, which equals about 3 hours a week. Not a physical job, though it can be a mentally trying job, lol. I should be ok to go back a week post-op, right?

I think you'll be absolutely fine barring anything unusual. I had surgery on a Wednesday, went home on a Friday, worked from home on Monday and was back in the office Tuesday (and worked a 8 hour day). I think getting active more quickly has helped in my recovery, personally . . . .

I think you will be fine too. I had surgery on a Monday, home on Wednesday and back to work on Monday. Worked 8 hours a day for the whole week. I have a desk job kinda only easier. It wasnt too bad. Just a little tired, so I sat a lot. Good Luck!

You should be fine. I had surgery on a Tuesday and was released on Wednesday. I spent 2 days up in our bedroom with a friend of ours "babysitting" me because #1, we have 3 saint bernards and my husband was concerned about them getting to excited to see me and #2, my husband was nervous about me being alone those first couple of days. I demanded my "release from jail" Friday night and went downstairs with my husband. I relaxed all weekend and being that I work from home too... I felt able to come downstairs and work come Monday. I was still very tired and did end up taking several long naps during the day for a few weeks but there was no reason for me not to do my usual work in the morning. Keep that in mind. You may feel fine enough to give your piano lessons but you may still be really tired. I think it took about a month for me not to feel SO tired anymore.

Just know you will be very easily tired the first few weeks, I will be 2 weeks tomorrow and still take naps. I am sure this has to do with no calories - if I really push it with yogurt and protein I can get 300 in. My shower and running a few errands uses that easily. Just listen to your body!

Yeah, you should be fine to go back to work unless you have complications. Just don't overtax yourself.
