There is a difference between going back to work and being fully recovered. With your sternum cracked open you can be back to work, I was in under three months, but not fully recovered for a long time afterwards. A service writer probably doesn't have to pick anything heavy up in the course of his work. I had to carefully plan any heavy work and called in for help more than once, which I don't have to do now. I guarantee after 4 months Stumpy won't be bench pressing an A833 into place. Heck I don't anymore and it's been over three years.
YES there is a BIG difference between going back to work and fully recovered.
and it's probably a safe bet he won't be bench pressing a heavy trans in place longer than 9 months. depending on his age and fitness level it may not be able to do that ever again.
he initially posted my experience because he was told he won't be doing ANYTHING for 9 months and that is incorrect .he will be surprised how fast you can return back to a semi normal life after this type of major operation compared to years past.
as before, i hope everything goes well and as planed stumpy.
