Back To Work Tomorrow....



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow I go back to work. Surgery was 3 weeks ago today. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I have been into my clinic a few times (I am a RN, clinic coordinator there) and pretty much everyone that I work with knows what surgery I have had and are very supportive. I am getting a bit stir crazy at home, but have cherished my time with my kiddos. I am a bit worried about my energy level still being low and having my intake of fluids stay where they are changing up my regular routine. I'm not really sure how to get my exercise in once I go back to work. I do have stairs I can walk up and down on my lunch break though. I work all day long and then come home to 3 young kids.... and I live in MN (and unfortunately we just got a dumping of ice and snow last night). Any suggestions or pointers would be great!!

Exercize tapes for the Mom & Kids - they have all kinds. I have a friend that went that route and she said it busted her butt!

She also enrolled them in family karate class.

Bicycles!

Don't underestimate the effect of using those stairs. Just 10 to 15 minutes of climbing will get your heart pumping and do wonders for your butt :-) But just be carefull not to overdo!!! You're only 3 weeks out and you need to heal. So take it slow. I like Pookeyism's idea of tapes too. For me anthing with music works. Good luck with work!!! and congrats!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
