What does that mean? Hope this finds everyone doing ok. LisaB Hi Lisa, it doesn't sound like you had a 100% successful surgery either with the doctor restricting you. The way it was explained to me, is the doctor writes down your restrictions and then you turn them over to your job. If your job can provide work for you with those restrictions then your fixed up. If not, you may be looking for work that accepts the restrictions. When my doctor mentioned this to me, I freaked because he put down no pushing, pulling, lifting and no overhead work. (phone duty only) with my left hand. My fear and question was, How many people will hire me with those restrictions? My doctor decided to wait on the restrictions because if I was lucky enough to find a job with his restrictions, I couldn't write messages for 8 hours. When I'm released, I want 0 restrictions. I want to wish you luck. Your doctors restrictions may not be as heavy duty or scary. Keep us updated. We wish you the best. Melani
