Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
After total abdominal hysterectomy with lymph node dissection, one needs to be at rest and avoid exertion for at least 4-6 weeks.
Healing completes in this duration.
You can resume your work after this duration.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
