I was out of the hospital after 5 days and the next day was shopping the malls in Bangkok. I was a little sore and I sat down an awful lot, but found some good bargains. Had to leave some things we brought to fill our suitcase. After 5 weeks I got a job as bus driver and had to do the physical. I took it real gently and told the physician that if I couldn't do it right now I would wait and he agreed. I did it and it was a piece of cake, except the giving of the urine. First time to do that as a woman. Very strange indeed. I don't think you need to take off 3 months, but I guess you would if you have a physical job of sorts. The dialating is the easy part, a little sore at first but you get use to it.
