Double Tram Flap - Back to Work?

Hi!

I have read several posts regarding the tram flap complications, etc.

I was just wonderng, am I dreaming to think that if I have the Tram Flap done 12/15/08 that I could possibly start an internship on 1/19/09 as a NICU nurse. I of course will not be lifting heavy items as quite a few nurses do as I will be working with very little ones.

If I were to have no complications, would it be possible?

Just like everyone else, I am ready to move on. I was diagnosed during my 2nd. semester of Nursing school, had to withdraw and went back after chemo. I will be graduating in December and I really want to get started in my new career...

Thanks,
Cheryl
