Emntlover,
I had bi-lateral rib resections in October of 2006. At first I seemed to get better. I tried to go back to work. I made it 2 1/2 months. Now my doctor has declared me disabled. He says he feels that I probably will never work again. I am a 37 year old mother of four. I tried to do daycare for a little while to supplement my hubby's income, but even that made me worse.
I am now applying for CPP (Canada's form of SSI).
What I am trying to say is lidsten to your body. If I had really listened I wouldn't have gone back to work, and wouldn't be where I am right now. So listen. Every woman has that 6th sense, but we so often ignore it because we don't want to inconvenience anyone.
Care for yourself. There is only one you, and you need to make sure you are healthy. Don't sacrifice your health. Do whatever you need to do to get better.

P.S. Maybe this was more to me than to you!
