Returning to Work After a Hysterectomy Posted: 04-09-07 11:40am
Hi, I had a total hysterectomy April
12th 2007. I work a very hard job in
construction. The cancer Dr. said no
lifting over ten pounds for 6 weeks and
off for 8. I have not been back to my
regular o.b. I do not think he knows what
i really do for a living. My tools along
weigh 50 pounds and we pull, push, and
lift up to 150 pounds. There are no
elevators and lots of stairs. P.S. when
should i start working out to help with my
recovery. Thanks

you get one chance to recover.
you have just had surgury - what you do
for a living is irrelevant - your health
is importnat.
please follow the guidelines you were
given regarding your recovery.
