I am self-employed working from home on a computer, so nothing too physically straining. Luckily I have plenty of work plenty of work at the moment. These are mostly small research/writing assignments easy to move around, but I don&amp;#39;t want to let my clients down.
My grade 1 lumpectomy op  is on 30 Sept. How long would you say before I can get out of the house and sit in a conference for the day?
I know we are all different, but I would like to take it easy without losing too much business. As other posts said, work also keeps me sane. I also will have friends/family to help for a few days and am in good form now, but I&amp;#39;d like to attend a meeting the following week - &amp;amp; days after the op. Is that realistic?
Thanks for your advice.
