Hi everyone,
I have a question for those of you who have been through surgery. I am finishing my master's degree in mid-August, and having my surgery on September 23rd. I wanted to wait until I was finished with grad school before I dealt with the scoliosis issues since I have been a full-time student (I would lose my grad assistantship if I took off during the middle of my program). When do you think I could reasonably start job-hunting/interviewing/working? Is mid-November reasonable to expect to be able to go to interviews and appear normal? :-) I know everyone's recovery is different, but I am having a hard time with not being able to plan out my job searching strategy yet. Thoughts?

anterior surgery T9 - L3 scheduled for 09/23/09
