I'll have my surgery next month (Femur - Precice 2.2), I'm a freelancer and I usually work from home.
I've considered taking some time to rest, at least the first months after the surgery... But a client asked me for an interesting job with a deadline that would be around a month after the surgery.
Considering that I work from my laptop, do you think I can restart my work a week after the surgery?
I don't know what to reply to my client since it's a totally new experience for me.

It’ll keep you busy bro, and also keep earning isn’t a bad idea since doing this surgery cost a lot of money.

Yes, I have to tackle it with this mindset.
Today I've accepted the work btw.
Thank you bro!

You might not be as sharp as you usually are, but it's totally do-able. I worked remotely during my lengthening process. Was just tired most days due to the lack of sleep.

I managed to do it after a week without any big issue. I bought a comfortable bed chair and I worked smoothly  Restaring my desk job 1 week after the surgery, bad idea?

To work on laptop is ok, but you said "desk job"... which completely different thing !
Desk job means sitting on desk chair... so compressing nerves, vessels and muscles. Also your hanging legs for hours gives you big pain and is not good for blood circulation and healing process.
I always said: IF YOU DONT HAVE MONEY AND TIME ONLY FOR THIS WHOLE PROCESS, IS BETTER TO NOT START IT !

Yes, you're right, I meant to say a "laptop job"... Probably "desk job" is too broad and can be misleading.
Btw English is not my first language.

You're really hardworking! From what I know, there shouldn’t be any issues working from your laptop just a few days after surgery. However, you'll need to adjust your setup a bit, and you might experience some pain since you'll be moving around so soon after the procedure. How are you feeling about it so far?
