I did it, went to work 4 days after surgery!!!

Feb 01, 2013

I wanted to share with everybody how great I feel and I am only 2 weeks post-op. My surgery was January 17th, 2013 and after only 4 days I felt well enough to go into work. I work as an elementary school teacher, so no heavy lifting involved. Prior to surgery I had posted on the discussion blog asking how long it took before most people went back to work. I had replies from 1 to 6 weeks. I am happy to announce that I am feeling wonderful. Not once have I felt weak or tired and that is saying a lot since I don't consume any caffeine anymore (which I though was humanly impossible to function without). lol! 

Whoever is considering this surgery, I am living proof that it is not as scary as some of the horror stories you may have heard. I am recovering splendidly well. I know everyone heals differently, but the other 2 woman in my room who got the surgery the same day as me are also recovering swimmingly well. Sitting here two weeks later, it almost feels like the surgery never happened.

So far, best decision of my life!
