I actually came back to work this week. The doc was going to sign me off for the next 4 weeks (during the full and complete recovery) but those darn ethics and morals got in the way. I really was feeling good enough and we are so busy at work! A little minor discomfort but mostly just fine. No lifting anything more than 15 lbs. and no sex (unfortunately, not a problem with that right now) for the rest of the 4 weeks, otherwise, I'm good to go. And, the purpose of the surgery (some of you know the specifics) has already been tested and passed with flying colors! Woo Hoo.
