No I am not back at work. Did an hour and half assessment yesterday but found after  an hour I was too tired to continue.  I have visited the shops today and did well.  I try to walk daily about 15 to 20 minutes.

I had to have full abdominal cut as the laparotomy could not remove every thing efficiently.  I full time tutoe children with learning disabilities so need to be quite active!

Was your surgery laproscopic or laparotomy?  I had laproscopic surgery in May and needed 3-4 weeks to recover (I have an active job though).
