Hi everyone, well it's now 2 weeks to go and i'm feeling quite good about it. I have accepted the fact that im going to be sliced up and all that lovely stuff, and i'm even ok about not being able to wash my hair or-gasp-clean my own bottom after i go to the loo for awhile, but what i am not sure about, is how long it will take to go back to work. as a high school teacher, i have a pretty demanding physical job which requires me to be on my feet alot. i have heard that your back starts to 'wake up' after awhile and this can be painful. at what stage does this happen as i am hoping to return to work within about 3 months of surgery and possibly earlier. Any other unexpected things you had personally to deal with, i'd love to know. I want to be prepared for anything. Also, my dr told me to go on fefol tablets for my iron levels but my note from hospital said to stop taking herbal medicine from 2 weeks before. Did anyone else have this issue???
