I recently was scheduled for for BAV replacement and aneurysm repair and was told 3-4 weeks off after surgery for an administrative type job.
Given that I, working as a nurse practitioner (32 years old), am on my feet most of the day, with children, I am curious when I should anticipate being able to perform physical exams-bending, kneeling etc with the kids after surgery?
I am curious, to those of you who work in health care, when did you return to work? Also, once back at work, what did you find difficult? Easy?
Thank you for any thoughts you may have on this? I will be having surgery in January in Boston and currently work in a pediatric hospital in Kansas City so will be flying back at some point (this is another point of contention).. and dont want to underestimate how much time I should be requesting off...
Again, thanks for sharing your experiences, this site has been so helpful to me since this progress has begun.
Best wishes to all
