Breast Cancer Recovery and Back to Work

My breast cancer surgery went really well! My recovery is much easier than I thought it would be. I had good ROM (range of motion) quickly. I had figured I couldn’t use my arms for a couple of weeks, but I immediately could use both, although restricted.

Today makes it a week since surgery. I was able to pick mint from my garden – yea! Mint is the only thing left to harvest, though. Garden pests have eaten my whole raised bed of bush green beans and my four tomato plants. My poor garden (:

I was going to put a mesh cover over them, but it has been raining here a ton for the past few weeks. There is so much standing water! I ran out of time to do anything meaningful for the beans. I’ll pull it all out soon to start the winter greens and cabbages.

Garden beans in the raised bed on the right that show very few leaves left.
They even got to my tomato plants in the pots. Bummer.
In the top left corner is one of the four pots of mint.

I’m so glad to be able to work on my websites so much sooner than I thought. All of the new changes WA has made are so cool; I’m anxious to try everything. I’ll be back to watching our Friday webinars and others. Watching the training and classes is perfect for us who can’t use our arms much yet, lol.

Has anyone else had a recent surgery or illness you recovered from? How has it affected your work? Do you have any tips for another recent surgery recovery patient?
