Time Off?

[LouisianaLiLi 231]

I have been back at work 2 days now. My surgery was 6/19. I have had no trouble whatsoever. I am an Administrative Assistant so I really don't have an intensive job...it gets hectic, but nothing too strenuous. Now...would I like to be home with my hubby? You betcha!

I'm scheduled for the 11th which is a wednesday and will be back on Monday hope that's enough time.

My surgery is on a Thursday, I am going back to work on Monday.

I have a pretty high pain tolerance. I had a c-section and within 2 days, I was doing a heck of a lot more than I should have been doing with no issues. I am thinking since this is not nearly as invasive as a c-section, I should be ok with 4 recovery days and then coming back to my desk job.

i only had five days of sick/vacation left for the year but luckily, i have a super supportive boss and granted me an additional week of PTO just because he wanted me to be successful...and probably doesn't want me to quit, lol. so, i have a total of two weeks off. i don't think i'll really need it but i'd be a fool to turn it down. i am a bit of a baby when it comes to pain though. i manage a warehouse, which is mostly desk work, a LOT of walking around and some occasional lifting - which i think i can't do for a few weeks? i still need to get clarification re: that.

I had mine on a Tues and went back on Mon, but I really would have been fine to return on Friday.

i had my surgery on a wed and took the entire next week off. am glad i did as i was able to rest. i work at a desk job. def take some time to take care of yourself. no heavy lifting and walking and drinking your fluids.

I took 2 weeks off, and I'm glad that I had! I had some complications after surg. And glad I had the extra time to rest! But only you know what your body can handle.

Had surgery on a Thursday and was back to my desk job on Monday morning. Slow moving, but it wasn't major surgery so no biggie.
