Went back to work today
I am 5 weeks post op and went back to work today for 4 hours. Although it felt good to be back there, I came home and did some yard work and now I am feeling exhausted. I think that going back PT is a great idea, instead of being thrown back into a full time position.

Yes you don't want to overdo it. Hopefully your job isn't too physically demanding? Take care and best wishes to you.

Went back to work today
I am going back tommorow (after NAGGING my Dr- I am sooo bored),but doing half days only for two weeks and then probably two weeks of 3 full days, 2 half days before stepping up to full time 8 weeks post op- I do have a desk job and will get dropped to work and will then be picked up by Dh at lunchtime and then home to put my feet up- I feel a lot more energetic than I did before the op - my blood count has already gone up after missing 2 periods (one since op and one which I was given tablets to stop prior to op as they were worried about blood count prior to op), and I think this is why I feel a lot better. I think I will feel back in the land of the living again once I am back in a routine - I have found it hard going the last couple of weeks.
Hope things go well for you dreamaker.

I think you should have skipped the yard work after being back at work on your first day but I can't talk. I was cleared today to just "sit on the ground and weed by hand" so I was outside weeding for 3 hours and now I can hardly move. But it was so good to be able to do something physical again with the sun shining, birds chirping...
I go back to work tomorrow. I am a nurse and usually am on my feet all day. I was told I could return as long as I can have a desk job for the next 2 weeks so I will be doing telephone triage. I'm sure I will need to nap at lunch because I still get tired easily.
