Good afternoon all, I wonder if any of you can shed some light on recovery timelines. I realise it is different for every individual but I would just like a rough idea. My issue is, my operation has been postponed by 2 weeks (Da Vinci and its specialist 'handler' are otherwise engaged that day), not a massive drama except for the fact my partner has rearranged all of her work schedules, flights, hotels, and clients to reflect my operation taking place on the 15th Jan. Do you think I will be able to look after myself, and walk the dog within 20 days of the operation. Thanks for your time.
