Morning Laura!
Glad to see you're getting out and around. Your girls are beautiful!
Whats your energy level like these days?
When do you go back to work? I had the LBL , and currently have 5 drains. I go back to see dr. this wednesday. Have all your drains been removed?
I get so excited to see post ops postings! Thanks again,

My energy comes and goes. I still take one nap a day, sometimes two. I'm allowed one outing a day. If I had to, I could be back at work, but my surgeon really wanted me to take 6 weeks off, which was do-able since I'm off for the summer.

Thanxs for sharing your information, hoping I'll continue on my healing without any hiccups. I'm a teacher too, but a pre-school teacher.
Our school is year round, as I work for a hospital that provides care for thier employees. Our numbers are low this summer, I have now 4 weeks left to rest. I will have 1 week to get my room in order. But I pre-set up everything. I discussed with my employer that if worse comes to worse I will be back last two days to tidy the room up. So I am ahead of the other teachers from our school, I was able to meet with my next group of children and get their pictures already done. Currently, my room is being used for summer camp, so I pappered over certain materials, so I can just remove the paper and go from their. I have this time now to re-work my curriculum, which I really LOVE doing!
Thanks again for replying back,

Thanks for posting this.
I'm 3 weeks away and my nerves are getting the best of me.
I'm a realist. Been a surgical nurse for 24 years.
But all that has gone out the window now that I'm the patient!!
