Default 1st Rib resection - post-op & returning to work

Hi Everyone,

I'm going to be booked in for a 1st rib resection for "TOS, Vein compression" due to a car accident May 2012. the JUST found out 2 weeks ago, scar tissue is severely compressing the nerves, and subclavian vein.

I haven't been able to find any information regarding returning to work post-op???? being a work-a-holic i'm just curious on people's recovery period and being able to return to work. I do a desk job, Stats Analyst.

Aswell I have concerns hearing AVOID public transportation, and needing help post-op. i'm just worried, because I live in Toronto, and that's my only mode of transportation (mainly the subway), and I'm also worried because I won't have anyone to help me out post-op. and of course I HATE not being independent, and what's worse is i'm right handed and that is the side i'm having resected.

Any suggestions????


Thank you
