6-Weeks post op, healing fine
I am 6-Weeks post op and I am so ready to get out and about!
I have had a few stabbing pains around my incision in the past couple of weeks but nothing to bad. I am starting back to work tomorrow, and I am so excited...Ready to get back to my life.
So far everything has been great and I am showing progress!
I still have a slight swelly belly, and I can't wait till that goes away.
Feeling more energetic by the day too...Hopefully it is all downhill from here!

Re: 6-Weeks post op, healing fine
I am glad you are feeling better. Remember that it takes 6 months to a year to be fully healed so take it easy as you go back to work. Build up to your previous level of activity and lifting gradually. And most important, if it hurts, stop! Good luck tomorrow!

Re: 6-Weeks post op, healing fine
Hey there. I'm also going back to work tomorrow and feeling a little nervous about it. I had surgery on May 19 and had a setback on June 7 but my Dr. says I can go back now. Luckily, I feel pretty much back to normal except for major night sweats and insomnia. Up til now this has not been a major problem since I've been home and can nap during the day but I worry about a full days work. We'll see.....
All the girls at work are always talking about if they won the lottery or became instantly rich would they still work. All of them say they would still work. I can honestly say now, after being off for 6 weeks, ABSOLUTELY NOOOOO!!!!!! I have enjoyed being home so much. I really love my job but nothing compares with being home and have my own schedule. I have LOVED it!!!! This is the first time I have been home for longer than a week in years. Even though for the first few weeks I couldn't really do very much I made up for it the last 2 weeks and it's been great.
I'll keep you in mind tomorrow when I step back into the office and try to wade through the mountains of paperwork that my coworker has told me is piled on every available surface Good luck.

Re: 6-Weeks post op, healing fine
Thank you so much, for your reply. I am going to make sure that I don't do to much to soon. I have come way to far to have a set back now.

I wish you the best of luck going back to work. I actually started working from home about 2-weeks ago via: computer. I am a safety rep and work in outside sales so I am pretty lucky that I get to make my own hours, so it isn't going to be as hard on me as it will be for you to get back into your routine. I feel for you having to deal with getting back in the swing of things and with all of the paper work backing up... WHEW!
I hope you have a great day!

Re: 6-Weeks post op, healing fine
Thank you for posting this, I actually am a safety rep working in outside sales and a lot of times I have to lift a very heavy brief case with catalogs, boxes of samples etc... Honestly didn't really think about that until you brought this to my attention.
I hope things work out for you, remember to be careful too!
Thank you!
