Guest guest Posted April 21, 2011 Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 Thanks, Cam. As always, you have provided me with valuable advice. While getting the ok to do activities like that would be great, I have no idea when it will be safe for me to drive myself, which is what would be required. When did Kam send her post? I didn't see it? I'll log on to the group website today to see if it just didn't make it to my email for some reason. But you're right -- I haven't been hearing of people returning to work at 2 months. That idea just seems crazy to me right now. People would think I'm at least almost f On Apr 20, 2011, at 5:24 AM, cammaltby <cammaltby@...> wrote: , Good luck on Friday. I am sure you will hear good news about your mending body. Its slow business growing bone and stamina. If you are moving around better, then count that as a check box in the " plus " column! It might help you at this point if you rethink what the word productive means to you. For instance if you are given permission to start a new physical activity like water walking or hall or mall walking then any of those activities can take the best part of a morning to accomplish. You still should be resting a few times a day for enough time to rest all the muscles in your body....so with showering, preparing lunch and maybe some of the dinner....you pretty much have a full day. In between there are no doubt bills and the usual paperwork every family has that require your attention....and little time checking in with us. Kams post was right on point. Listen to your body. If you cant imagine undertaking work again in two weeks time then you probably should communicate that to your doctor. Honestly...those that have gone back sooner than 12 weeks are pretty rare in our group. My feeling in the cases of those that did HAD TO do it for financial reasons.....not because they were sitting around feeling swell and under occupied. Try to remember that as Kam just pointed out...those around you only react to how you look....they have little understanding of what is going on inside your body. If you look good and reappear at work...there will be expectations that you are as good as new. Can you meet them? When you feel the answer is Yes....then you are ready...until then realize how hard it will be to " back up the bus " if you return to work too soon. Cant wait to hear abut your check up.
