Recovery time

Hi all!

I am on day 2 of being home and am starting to feel better each day. Even made it out of the house for a (short) walk!

My question is, when did you start feeling like yourself/ "normal" again?

My plan is to go back to work Tuesday of next week (6 days post op), have any of you returned to work around that time frame? Or do you recommend longer recovery time? I work in an office setting so not lifting anything really.

What are your thoughts? Sorry for all of the questions but I know there are some real pros out there that may have sound advice [emoji4]

I had my surgery on a Thursday and went back to work the next Tuesday. I didn't feel perfect, but I wasn't in (much) pain or having nausea. I did get tired pretty easily, but I think within a week of being back at work I was mostly back to my normal self :)
