Recovery from ankle surgery and broken wrist
Posted , 3 users are following.
I just discovered this forum which is greatly helping me to under all my “body aches” and post surgery recovery. 6weeks ago I broke my right wrist and am still in cast (for 4 more days) then will move into a brace. A week and a half ago I fell and broke right ankle, had surgery 6 days ago. So I’m definitely hobbling around with a knee scooter. I work part time as an admin asst. I was going to try and go to work 2 -3 hour shifts next week. It sounds like I may be pushing it.....anyone with experience?

OMGoodness Debbie, You have been through a lot! I would say you are pushing going back to work so soon. You haven't healed yet. Never mind the wrist but now the ankle too and that was just 6 days ago.
Ask your doctor but I would be willing to bet he or she will say way to soon for work.
Can't hurt to ask.. but if you have the time, stay home and heal properly . Don't forget you will need to go to PT , too.
Good luck,
Rose

I also went back to work while still recovering and in a boot
and I ended up falling and hurting myself more. Don't push it, sometimes life forces us to slow down for a reason. Let your self heal, if you must work and it is good for the mind then do so from home with you laptop.
Take Care!
