mobico-my surgery was Tuesday, January 31st, first thing in the morning. Israel is 7 hrs ahead of us in NY, so I'm confused...was yours on Monday, or the 31st?
I do think everyone reacts differently for sure. I was up and alert after my surgery and everyone kept saying, "You don't look like you just had surgery!" I'd never had surgery before so I had nothing to compare to. Some people say it took them a solid 2-3 months to feel normal again, I feel normal now, with the exception of the numb leg.
I was out of the hospital the next day and could have been back to work in 10 days easily. I took the third week off to help my recipient, who himself seems ahead of the recovery curve. He was reduced to once a week clinic visits after a week and back to work after 3. His doctor said most recipients take 3 months off.
I'd imagine there are lots of factors that go into it, but it is very interesting.
