When To Return To Work

[circa 333]

Wow, my surgeon wants a minimum of 4 weeks but would prefer 6 weeks off. My follow up appt with her is exactly one month post surgery. If I really had to go back to work at 4 weeks she would consider it with lots of modifications. I luckily have short term disability that will cover my wages while I'm out so I will take the 4 weeks off then maybe just work from home the last two. I can't imagine going back to work after only a week. You guys are rock stars!

Well, I do just sit in a chair and do research. Its nothing more active than watching tv and being on here I couldn't imagine going back to a labor intensive job before a few weeks at least. I wouldn't want to run the risk of a hernia or a tear or something. Like I said before, I won't lift anything that's over 10 lbs right now.
