My wife was told 6 weeks before possibly returning to work. She should be able to make it as we are on week 5 and generally doing better each day. Our biggest challenge is keeping her sugars level as she has had wild swings from 45 to 380. It’s getting better with smaller changes, but constantly monitoring it.

Hi,

Could I ask what your wife's condition was at week 3? I am scheduled to have a Whipple surgery on 6.8. I just got invited to do a dream? assignment from July 1-9. It is an on-call interpreter job for a big golf event. Last year I did the same job. Mostly I sat all day waiting to be called. It was a very easy job. However, I do not have any idea what kind of conditions I will be. I know the reaction varies greatly for each person, but generally, will I be in so much pain, nausea, fatigue, etc., around week 3-4? I would like to know your honest opinion.
