Back to work

[needinfo]

Back to work on 5/6, 4 weeks post op. I think that is amazing. Personally, I felt like going back last week but Doc says no go. Started riding my bike yesterday, tired of walking sticking to a slow mile still. I will begin the cardiac rehab next week with the excercise and diet regime, looks like we are off on the road to a full recovery!
Take care you guys.....
Tom

Tom,
That's great....just don't overdo it and take care of yourself!

Good news! At 4 weeks, there is no way I could go to work. Take it easy and don't do to much. Best of luck to you.

That sounds great, Tom,

Good luck at the Rehab and you will enjoy and do not rush things ... continue to enjoy healing slowly but surely!

I have been signed off work for 3 months by the doc. Which is nice I suppose, we can take 6 months sick leave on full pay. At 6 weeks post-op I could quite easily go back now. I'm bored silly at home. However got cardiac rehab starting in 2 weeks so thats something to do.

I write for a living and work at home. It was 2.5 weeks after I got discharged and less than 5 weeks after surgery, that I went back to work part-time. It gave me something to do, and it wasn't taxing. I began writing blog posts two days after my hospital discharge.

I hope everything works out well for you going back this early. I would like to caution you not to overdo it. Go on limited duty if you have to.

Wish you the best of luck & God Bless

I went back 4weeks post op also, it was tougher mentally for me than physically to go back to work. After such a life changing event I had a hard time focusing on work.
Anyway, glad you're doing so well!
