I had back surgery on Feb 16th, then 3 weeks later, reherniation occurred on the same disc, so I had a 2nd surgery on March 28th to remove the disc fragment sitting on the nerve. On April 25th, I was rushed into surgery for a perforated colon, small intestine blockage, and sepsis. I spent 2 weeks in the hospital due to the infection. I came home with a PICC line and had home IV antibiotics for 3 more weeks. I am finally getting used to my colostomy 6 weeks post-op, but I am fighting serious fatigue. Did anyone else feel like they had any energy still at 6 weeks? I am thinking about returning to work on Monday, but I'm just so tired all day. Any post-op feedback would be appreciated.
