Hi everyone!
I think all of you are aware that I have been for a small surgical procedure on my upper back this morning - all went fine and I am now back at home resting. Neither the consultant or the nurse were willing to give me a definite answer as to when I could return to work, all they could say was I have to be careful with movements and very careful with heavy lifting until the wound has fully healed, as they do not re stitch if I burst the stitches 😕 Based on this, I am 100% cancelling this week, which you should all have been pre-warned about, with the hope I can return the week after. The only issue I can potentially see is possibly with the hoover, lifting in and out of the car, and upstairs. I have been told once the anaesthetic wears off, I should be able to feel when something is pulling/doesn't feel right and that's when to stop. So I will have to play it by ear, once I know how I am feeling tomorrow onwards.
I will be in touch individually over the next few days to discuss a return date and possibly any other adjustments, as every one of your houses are different with regards to tasks.
Thanks for all of your support and understanding, means a lot, especially as it was such short notice and I had only been back a week after my break over Christmas/New Year.
