Re: Six to eight weeks off work after hysterectomy - is it reasonable?
I went back after 8 weeks, and I was only extended the extra two weeks because I couldn't stop crying. Physically, I was extremely tired and sitting straight up was still not comfortable. Mentally/emotionally I was, and still am, a wreck! I'm at work, but have several cries a day. I KNEW I was NOT ready to return to work, but my doctor thought differently so here I am.
My recommendation for you is to talk to your doctor about your concerns, AND consult a therapist. This way there is consideration for both your physical and mental condition before anyone sends you back to work.
I'm now stuck working up the courage to go to work, and praying that I don't start blubbering during meetings/conversations with staff.
Hope this helps.
