I had a WLE this morning for an in situ mole on my mid back. They instructed me to keep my back as straight as possible for the next couple of weeks at least. No bending, lifting, twisting, etc. The only way I’m currently comfortable is sitting in a recliner. Obviously, the incision is bandaged but could I be hurting the incision somehow (preventing it from healing properly) by sitting back in the recliner?
I’m having a WLE for Stage 0 in a couple of weeks on the right side of my mid back. I had the same surgery 10 years ago on my thigh and don’t really have a lot of memories of my recovery period. I’m an Electrologist by trade and run my own practice. My days consist of 8-10 hours of treatments, mostly sitting, but my back and arms take a beating. (For those who don’t know electrolysis, my positioning is similar to that of a dental hygienist.) My question is regarding how many days to take off following the procedure. I already took the day-of and the day after off my calendar. Am I unreasonable to think I could be back to work 3 days after? Thanks in advance for any insight!
