My RN wife is about 2 wks post-op from hers. (freaking Essure - Bayer/Conceptus should be flayed for those)
Yes. Ouch!

She's learning that having it done 5 wks post-op from her knee replacement wasn't such a good call.
She'll have 1 chunk of time off work *but* when you can't use your core and your knee still hurts getting up to go to the bathroom is interesting.

Hope you have a speedy recovery. My wife just had a heart valve repair. Actually, was a pretty good patient. She’s a retired cardiac cath lab nurse.
