When Did You Return To Work?

[ooffa511 507]

Had my surgery on thursday 10th May 2013.. drove myself home from hospital on the saturday.. felt good enough to go back to work on the monday.. I am a hairdresser so on my feet all day ' date=' but have staff to fill in and only did a few selected "easy clients" so not to over do things and had lots of breaks.. and mainly did appointment bookings ect.. all of last week was like that but back to full on the floor as of tomorrow.. hopefully I wont exhaust myself to much.. but will have breaks and sit down as needed ..actually have been very pleasantly surprised at how great i do feel, hope it continues this way ..good luck with your surgery x[/quote']

Hi well ulitimatly i had to get back to work .I work for myself so in a nut shell if I dont work i dont get paid,, I have staff to fill in but then i am out of pocket paying extra wages,,but if I had the time and money to stay off for longer I certantlly would... in saying that tho i seriously felt fine going back,, a little bit tired this week as I am back full time doing my 10hrs a day but still ok to go for my evening walks,, but i feel great still,, and i do takes breaks at every opurtunity and sit down when ever possible... I just hope that i can contiue to feel this good.. I go back to the docs for my first check up since surgery and hopefully he says everything ok...

I was sleeved on a Wednesday.. and went back to a desk job on Monday. on Monday and Tuesday I only worked 1/2 day.. after that.. full time like normal. I had a VERY easy surgery, had no real pain and no gas pains... so I may have been the exception to the rule..
