WFH Post-Op

I’m having my MACI stage 2 in a month for a single full thickness femoral defect in my left knee. Thankfully nothing else needed like TTO. I’ve been reading thru the posts to help me prepare and have some lingering questions.

  1. I’m F45, work a desk job in financial services that is fairly fast-paced and mentally demanding. I’m fortunate to be able to WFH and am curious about others’ timelines for returning to work for desk jobs/remote. Can it be done by week 2? Does anyone have suggestions for a mobile desk setup on the bed? Can you do your CPM while working?

  2. For the first week are you mostly bed-bound? Or moving between bed & couch? I imagine you hang out wherever the CPM is? I’ll be setting up in our guest room on the first floor and debating if we need to add a TV in there.

  3. Day in the life for the first week? When you have to do the CPM for 6-8 hrs per day, how much time is each session and in between?

  4. What should my husband know to prepare? I get the sense he thinks this will be like stage 1. 🙃

I’m going to keep scrolling back but TYIA for any info!
