Going Back To Work?

I was curious if you've ever heard of anyone going back to work 5 days after surgery. It will be a sit down job. I have surgery on Wednesday and I have to be back on Monday. Do you think that this is even possible? Im a little worried....

Your day founds a lot like mine at work. I'm having my surgery in the morning and I worry about going back. My doctor gave me a four wk note so we will see what happens. Just stay strong. You have come so far. Hopefully you will find it easier than you think. Good luck!

That's great to know:) I need to keep my game face bossy attitude back in order!

Did great today:) everyone had the sweetest things to say. Of course people had questions... But I sipped my crystal light and made sure I ate something every 3 ish hours. I feel good.

Looking forward to a walk with the hubby later <3

That's great!

I am lucky in that I can work online from my recliner at home, but still going to take a few weeks off just so I can totally relax and concentrate on recovery.
