11 days out of surgery and today was the first day ive gotten in and out of bed on my own im so posed to go back to work on Monday but i think its still so soon i cant even imagine driving yet since my car is very low and i know will be difficult to get in and out of i don’t weather to tell them ill try for Wednesday I’ve been out two weeks already and my left incision is still leaking i dont want to look irresponsible either ??‍♀️

How are you feeling now? Better I hope?

Still in pain but trying as the days pass by and thanks to everyone who came to my defense it amazing that there are people who rather pass judgement then say a kindly word

I know it’s hard! Especially if you’re already having a blastedly sucky day
One day at a time, right?

How did you do getting back to work? Are you feeling better and able to work a full day yet? My Dr. told me recovery could take 4-6 weeks but depending how I feel I can go back at 2-3 weeks if I am up to it. I have a total desk job so I'm keeping my options open. I submitted for 6 weeks on FMLA and applied for short term disability and will take it one day at a time. I hope you are feeling good now.

Keep us updated on what you decide

Does your employer offer short term disability? I was able to get six weeks off using short term disability with full pay. Maybe you can check in to that and it may help out a lot.
