Hi, congrats to you! Wishing you a speedy recovery. I had a question regarding your working situation.

1. How were you able to work and manage the pain? Did you take any narcotics, or what were you taking so you could work while doing this?
2. Did you get one of those bed desks? I heard for the first three weeks its hard to move in and out of a wheelchair, so how did you manage working?
3. Any WFH tips?

Hey Thank you .

1. the pain was not so hard after two weeks. But i took some pain killers so it was ok.
It is definitly possible to work. I even did 40h/week. 

2. when i was at office, i put a carton under my feet. That helped. Someday i could work at home and did it on the couch.

3. what do u mean with  wfh?

This depends what you mean with participate.

General the first week you are in Hospital.

After two weeks the threads are pulled, so you can take a shower again.

Then you can meet friends for example. And i went back to my job. Or you can go to a Restaurant or cinema for example or go to a dentist.

But of course you cant play soccer. This will need some months.

After around four  weeks everything is going more easy. But the distraction phase is the hardest one. When you are in consolidation phase everything is sooo much more easy, no compare. Any further questions?
