She’s reading all the briefs and staying on top of it, but the surgery requires weeks of recovery.

My father had part of his lung removed and it’s a very serious recovery. Not only does the wound have to heal, but the ribs and the muscles on the ribs have to heal. Then there is needed physical therapy to be able to move normally again.

RWNJs seem to think that she's failing if she doesn't climb mountains while juggling bowling balls during recovery.

she should be ok... It took me about 3 weeks before I really felt "good", but I went ahead and tool the full 8 weeks off until returning to work, and I was only 50. Mine wasn't micro surgery though and I had about a 16" scar on my back that still kind of hurt if I over exerted myself. Get better soon RBG!
