Back to work after partial hysterectomy

So I will be six weeks post op on Wednesday after a partial hysterectomy.

I still have a little pain but nothing as bad as it was. I’m still a little drained through out the day

I’m considering going back to work, I was told 6-12 weeks recovery. I feel like I’ve had long enough of now and want to get back. Any opinions? I am a nursery nurse so I’ll be on my feet a lot etc

Is it possible to start on half days then work your way to full time. I went back 4 weeks after a major operation. I did half time for two weeks then back to normal. I found this works for me.

Hope this helps
