You have had some wicked surgery. I hope you didn't feel rushed back to work. I think you may have been misinformed on the timeline. I'm a tough bird. Even when I was younger and working, there's no way I would have been ready to go back in six weeks. While you need to listen to the surgeon about activities, listen to your body concerning whether you are ready to make a commitment to going back to work. That is very invassive surgery and you having so many levels repaired. How are you doing?
