Another back to work after hysterectomy thread...
I saw that there was another thread on this topic but I figured Id start my own so I dont hijack the other one.
Id like to get a few opinions on when I can return to work...
My job is one night a week, amd ot doesnt require me to do very much. I spend most of my time on my own answering phones... I already get to lay down while doing this because of the nature of the place where I work... it has a couch.
I get up 2-3 times to walk outside to a building to lock it up, and I may get called out once to unlock a gate.
For the most part though, its very physically low key.
Any suggestions?
I hardly work ad it is because of my back...I dont know if I can afford to miss many working nights.

Re: Another back to work after hysterectomy thread...
I went back at 3 weeks to work that seems like it was more physically demanding, could honestly have gone back at 2 but was already off the schedule. I had TAH also. Talk to your dr about it to see what he/she says

Re: Another back to work after hysterectomy thread...
Returning to work is truly based on how you feel and are healing after you have your surgery. At 1,2, and 3 weeks for a vaginal hysterectomy I wasn't physically nor emotionally ready to return to work.
I would suggest that you express your interest to return to work. Some doctors set minimum return dates.

Re: Another back to work after hysterectomy thread...
Thanks for the advice!
After thinking about it a bit... i may try to get back for sure on week 3. Going back on 2 may be pushing it, but I will skip week 2 if need be. Will just play it by ear.
