12 weeks post op....returned to work on part time basis only- 3 hrs/day ( thats all I can manage before fatigue and aches set in) .
I have a doctors note to certify NO lifting or carrying with both hands. Which I intend to stick firm to at all costs, I'm not prepared to hurt myself over a part time job!
My frame of mind regarding work has totally changed now. I do what I can at my own pace. If my employers are not satisfied with that than so be it..... Its all I have to give! I have to be ALOT more respectful to my body now. My healing has to come first. I'm not as I used to be but in the same token I'm still here..... just not so physical.
WHAT WILL BE WILL BE.
