Hi Mom! I had my surgery on a Tuesday.... and went back to work 1/2 days 13 days later... I could have gone full time, but had a sick hubby at home to deal with. I also have a desk job... so it's possible! You may find yourself tired more than anything...
Painwise, energywise - I was driving and snowblowing at 5 days post-op!
Oh ---- I should mention I'm a tough o'l gal from Wisconsin
