Back to Work today

i am officially returning to work today.  To,orrow will be 3 weeks post-op for me.  I went in on Friday and did paperwork for a few hours and that seemed to go okay.  I also only committed to half a day today but we will see how it goes.  

Good luck on going back to work.  3 weeks would have been a good time for me.  

Good luck. You will be tired tonight but one more step towards getting back to life.

Good luck! Take it easy. I'm only taking 1 week but I sit at a desk so I think I will be ok.

I went back after 3 weeks. The first two weeks back I was pretty exhausted at the end of the day... went home some nights and struggled to stay awake after 7:00.

I'm six weeks post op now and my energy levels are pretty much back to normal. 

Good luck!!

I had surgery the day before you and went back to work last week. The first 2 days were rough for me; partly because I was sitting upright a lot and partly because my incisions kept hitting my desk. After adjusting my chair (a lot!) it got better. I honestly didn't feel any more fatigued than I usually do.

Now I am struggling with remembering to drink and eat. The whole wait to drink 30 mins before eating and 30 mins after eating has been a challenge because I keep getting distracted. 

My goal this week is to set alarms, so I am hoping that helps! 

Good luck heading back to work! 

Thanks everyone.  I did well with remembering to drink and take my vitamins but it was really tiring.  I can tell I'm not my usual self yet but definately a step toward normalcy again.

I had my surgery the day after you and I went back to work today as well. Thankfully I have flexible hours so I only had to do 6 hours (5.5 technically because of lunch). I was on my feet most of the day but I got through it. Was super tired after work and now I can't get to sleep because I rested after work haha. I would love to have another week off so I could enjoy some summer activities, but getting back to normal will hopefully get me back to normal quicker.
