Had the same one done feb 14 . Did feel I needed full 6 weeks . Local mechanic got done week after went back to work to soon had to go back in . Reversed the op been on med since and will have to get re done when fully recovered . Also I bought an extreme 25 to use as much as possible. That made a real difference . Often use a max 50 left them another month and all good after 3 months

Thanks for the input. Good advice.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

I've just today - at 30 days after the OP - cleaned my van and my house (a semi-detached) reachable with my 20ft extreme.

I feel ok but don't want to overdo it. I am planning to do three  properties including a bungalow on Thursday which means I'll work steadily and do just over an hour on the glass and about an hour preparing and driving.

If that's ok then I will do the same Friday and next week at nearly six weeks do about 2 hours a day but no higher than my 20ft Xtreme.

My surgeon - when I explained my work - said don't go back full time (5 hours on the glass for me  ;D) until 6 weeks and no high reach or awkward stuff for 8.

I have dropped a big commercial which was at 45ft and passed it to my son in law and I have another couple of smaller but higher jobs I shall hand over too.
It's a game of three halves!

I am almost 59 . For me all customers didn’t expect me back . If I done some on an extremely compact round they would all expect me back . Worst problem was we had that real bad storm end of January . So half my run was really dirty for to long

Well I decided to do three easy houses and a dormer bungalow today as a little starter and all seems good thus far.

Just over a month in and all seems okay. But I shall obey the doc and not go for high or awkward stuff too soon.

Nice to actually be earning again even if it was only £98 in three steady hours.
