Work, Stress and Surgery

[A. Stoot 85]

Anyone have a very stressful job and if so, did you take a few days off or day before surgery to prepare and relax? I was not planning on taking off work no more than needed and only planned the day of surgery and my recovery time. Anyone dealt with work related stress during the process before, during and after surgery, if so how did you deal with it?

I work as a CNA in a hospital. I have yet to book my surgery but I plan on taking off the day before to prepare. Because of my physically demanding job I have to stay out between 4-6weeks. It is very stressful at my job at the moment because it's been so busy and it is difficult to stay on track with all the stressers and Snacks around the place. Good luck!

Tahnks, ya i am thinking the same, I guess I am afraid of my blood pressure before surgery, good advice and yes I think I better take care of myself before and after surgery☺
