Well, I had my second post op appointment yesterday and since my health insurance only allows 4-6 weeks revovery period for laparoscopic hysterrectomy, I have been released from care and can return to work immediately. Having spent these past weeks doinf very little and napping as often as my body seems to request, I am definitely not ready to return today and immediately begin being on my feet 8 hours per day cooking as well as doind direct care for people who need to be lifted and moved. So, whether I am paid or not, I've decided to go to a wellness center locally to exercise and rebuild my stamina so that my body and mind are really equally ready when I return on 3/5. That gives me 7 working days to make the transition from doing little to doing whatever I am asked to do. Retirement plans are firming themselves up following the weeks of following my own time schedule.
