I am 10 weeks post op yesterday and I returned to work today. I am working 2 days a week to start in the office. I will see my OS again on 9/12. I have a one hour commute to my work so it has taken a little longer to get back than for most people.
I will tell you one thing...I am absolutely exhausted. I have had some nerve irritation from my back which has caused numbness in my right (operated)thigh and my left leg goes numb if I stand longer than a couple minutes in one place. I'm only taking Tylenol now for discomfort, occasionally a half a Percocet at night, but that's it.
I am just so happy to be back at work! So now the question, would I do this again?? I will tell you this, when my left hip starts giving me problems I will walk, not run to have it done. I will NEVER wait as long as I did for this first one. I will be much more aggressive and just do it.
I will keep you posted as I continue to recover. This site has been a true blessing for me.
All my best, Debra
