Back to work in less than three weeks! OT

I went to my doctor today to see whether I will be able to return to work
fairly soon. It's 11 weeks now since my surgery.
It was a doctor I had never seen before, a locum. His appointments were
running well behind and I had to wait for ages, but I found out why, because
he gives you all the time you need (the other ones often rush you out as
quickly as they can.)
We talked through the letters received there from my consultant gynae who
operated on me. Also what the phrase "borderline tumour" means for my
long-term prognosis rather than it being out and out benign. He was amazed
by the size of my tumour and said "didn't you look like you were nine months
pregnant?" and I said "yes and how does it look now?"..flat (ish) tummy.
He examined me then and thinks my scar is healing well and the tenderness
and sometimes pain I feel is normal. As he said "you have had major
surgery.." and thinks it will take a lot longer, maybe months to calm down.
The burning pain I get is apparently caused by nerves trying to reattach
themselves.
*So* I can go back to work on August 31st! Providing I don't lift anything
heavy just yet. Oh, wow. I'll get wages again ;-)
And.. the funeral is off :-))))

I'm glad the funeral's off, I don't feel like driving 150 miles at the
moment. ;-)

Congrats, Tweed! Glad you can go back to work, too. And that you finally
met a good doctor.

Hurray! This is really good news, Tweed, and I'm really glad that
the funeral is off. We've had enough bad news on rpca recently, and
we're about due for some good news.

Purrs and Hugs,

Nan

What a good checkup!
