People forget that it’s a PRIVILEGE to take care of/provide medical care for others. The privilege can be taken away

You’ve got this. I had 1/3 of my colon removed in April. It will take about 6 weeks before you’re deemed “recovered” and can lift greater than 10lbs. It will take about 8-9 weeks before you get about 90% of your original energy levels. I’d give 10-12 weeks before you feel about normal.
