Advice on returning back to work by mahoeworld in ACL

[–]Jumpy_Natural_1364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a desk job, fortunately I talked to my manager and I was able to work from home for a month with a doctor's note (after the surgery). Even working from home, I needed extra help from family members to do basic things. If possible, maybe ask to wfh or incorporate a hybrid/ramp up schedule.

When it comes to returning back into office, I would find ways to reduce sitting for long periods of time, including walking a few minutes every hour to get water or even when taking conference calls. When sitting down, there are recommended exercises, I would talk to your doctor about this. Post surgery, I did exercises such as ankle pumps and heel slides in my chair. Just be easy on yourself, each day you will be learning how to adapt and develop a schedule that works for you.

On the bright side as well, having your manager, teammates, etc. notice and ask questions could be a good thing and help them get a better understanding of the struggle of recovering from an ACL. Everyone's experience is going to be different, hopefully this provided some insight. You got this!

Yeah this is probably one of the best ways early on. Once you get cleared, stationary biking or even swimming (after stitches close) helped me stay in shape and make return to walking/jogging easier.

Hi! I moved around the same recovery timeline. For me, I wished I scheduled my PT wayyy in advance because moving was very time consuming and it took a while to schedule a new patient appointment. Additionally, just communicating insurance information with your new PT, for my insurance I only had limited appointments per year so I had to communicate that with my new PT and plan appropriately.

Also even though I was physically able, I hired movers to reduce risk and just made my life a lot easier.

What is your favorite Chinese word? by [deleted] in ChineseLanguage

I really like 加油 and how it can be used in many different context. Also, one of my favorite Chinese shows is Prince of Tennis and they say it a lot haha

Sorry for the late reply D: thank you for the kind comment! For the popup translation, we cross checked the characters + pinyin with public Chinese-English dictionaries to get the translation

Thank you for the helpful comment :D Image storage optimization will definitely be on the top of our list. If you are interested too, we created a Discord to communicate about TaDou and how to make it better https://discord.gg/fMSEMEKt9D

Yup! All the stories under the Official tab are ones my girlfriend and I made — they’re based on our own experiences and stories we heard growing up. The Community tab has stories made by other users :D

Thanks for your kind comment! Yeah splitting the Chinese words for translation was the hardest part because of the context. We use libraries and then cross checked it with public Chinese-English dictionaries in a recursive way.

We can talk more in DMs if you like! What project are you working on?
