Today is my second day at work after my surgery on the 30th and it's kicking my butt. Wasn't this tired when I was at home but feeling so run down and besides myself. I'm a Medical Assistant at a Pediatric clinic and to take it easy my manager has let me do phone calls this week. Can emotional stimulation be just as exhausting??!!

Yes!! Very! I'm a psychotherapist and get very exhausted. Hence- I'm requesting the full weeks off (doc is saying 3-4)

I'm taking off 3 weeks for recovery......can't imagine going to work too soon...even if I do sit on my butt all day....

I went back 1/2 days my first week back (2 1/2 weeks out) and back full time this week. I am exhausted! I think it is only natural with surgery and less calories than I'm used to. Good luck
