Originale
I was able to work, but I had to inform colleagues in meetings that I was unable to sit for long periods of time and would need to stand in the back of the meeting room so as not to interrupt. Post surgery I was able to do work at home 1-2 days a week which really helped my recovery.
A job that is somewhat flexible and allows you to sit and stand, or work at home to recooperate the nerves is the most ideal for desk work.
