    I'm an ER nurse and I took 7 weeks. I was able to get full pay with disability and sick time to supplement it.

    I've been off for 5 weeks, doc didn't want me lifting yet. I work in a crazy busy ER where we see 95k pts a year! I'm going back 8/3 after surgery on 6/16 at this point I'm going to be on soft foods until a week after I get back to work. Then I can resumed a reg diet! I'm pretty attached to my protein shakes, hoping I have time to make one at work!

    My surgery was scheduled for 1pm Monday didn't go in until 4. Had a tough time coming out of anesthesia and didn't take in any fluids orally until Tuesday afternoon. I am a nurse and I wanted to ensure I stayed well hydrated and opted to stay the extra night! I never took pain meds after Monday night. I had my first visit with him on 5/1/14 and had the procedure 6 weeks later. My insurance is pretty quick and easy to get approved! If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!
