Wondering how many days/weeks you will need to feel like getting out of the house

I know it is different for everyone but just wanted to get an idea about getting back to normal...so to speak.

I know it is different for everyone but just wanted to get an idea about getting back to normal...so to speak.

For me my first outing was to church and I was a week and two days out and I felt perfectly fine...now at 2w3d I feel completely normal :)

My first outing was back to the hospital but that's a different story. UGH So after that I think I went to the grocery store about a week after my second surgery. Felt pretty good just got tired. Just be really CAREFUL and don't over do it! When I went to my first Dr. appointment I reinjured my self getting out of the car and good grief did it hurt.

I was released from hospital on a Sunday and their pharmacy was closed. My first outing was from hospital to Kroger. I walked around grocery store while waiting for my meds.

I had surgery on wed, went home on Friday and stopped at two stores on my way home. After that I went out with my mom on Monday for a few hours in town to get some fresh air and walk. It was nice. I went out for 2-3 hrs each day that week with her to walk around because of the snow. I then would come home and take a map as I was totally done.

I had surgery on a Friday. I was discharged on Sunday and was back in my office on Tuesday. Lol totally ridiculous, I know.

Hoping I get back to normal quickly. As of right now I'm scheduled to go back to week 2 weeks after surgery!!
