How much time did you take off of work for LBS?

I had my surgery on a Thursday, took that day and Friday along with the following week and returned this past Monday. If I could have taken another week off I would have but I didn't have enough leave banked to do it. First day back was rough. I sit at a desk all day working on financial information and by the end of the day my line of incisions were sore and my back hurt from the awkward way I was trying to sit to relieve the pressure on my tummy. Today was a little better and I'm guessing each day will get better. I do have to say it is nice to get back into my routine again and out from in from of the TV at home. Cabin Fever was beginning to set in so I'm happy to be back at work and moving again. I may hurt some from being up at the office but it's also helping me heal quicker.

I had 5 days off because of the New Years Holiday. I'm an RN but do case management now on the phone/computer. I wish I had taken another week. 2 weeks would have been about perfect.

I had my surgery on a Wednesday and went back to work the following Monday. Even with a job that doesn't require much lifting, I really could have used a couple more days.
