Hi Kirsty, I hope you feel ok after surgery and mending well x 

Morning all.  Just a quick update.  Had surgery on tues. All went well.  First 3 nights were awful for sleep but last couple of nights have been fine. How long did everyone take off work after surgery?  I was hoping to be back to work possibly wed/ thurs however I still feel very sickly when I’m sitting / standing so I don’t think that will be happening.  

Morning lovely! I’m glad to hear everything went well with your surgery. I took 2 weeks off work and then went back for a week but ended up off work again as I had really bad nerve pain that started 3 weeks post op. I would definitely give yourself plenty time to rest and recover. Everyone is different but I felt I rushed back to work too quickly as I was desperate to get back to some kind of normality. Take it at your own pace and see how you feel xx

I took day after operation and that’s it but I worked from home throughout I needed normal life couldn’t cope with the thinking at the time , it would have been different if I had to go in to the office , but it’s my own company and I found working fook my mind of it xx taje ad much time as you need don’t rush it x 

Thankyou I will x 

Hi lara , I have worked from home since day after surgery, like you, for normality . Work has been really been great with me. X

Hi Jacksonjet,

Im glad all went well on Tuesday,  I’m now nearly 3 weeks post op. Last week I did some work from home and then built it up more towards the end of the coming week is going to be a normal work week for me, other than going to the hospital for my follow-up appointment tomorrow morning, I’ve felt fine other than having trouble sleeping, but if things change I’ll take more time off. Just build up work slowly as you feel able, and be prepared for it to feel like one step forward, two steps back at times.

Best wishes xx 

Not sure how I managed to mis-type that! 
I meant to say I built my work up towards the end of the week, and this coming week will be a normal one!

Hi GoonerGirl,

I shall be thinking of you tomorrow and I sincerely hope that there are no unexpected surprises. Don't overdo things work wise this coming week.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
