back2barb78 890 Posted September 8, 2013 So far only taking 2 weeks. But they may make me take off longer. My surgeon says 3 but I'm going to ask for 4 minimum. I work at one of those hospitals where we do everything, and I barely get a chance to pee or get a glass of Water some days. I don't want to get sick going back too soon. I'm going to try to weasel another month out of them if I can {)i(} Sent from my iPhone using VST {)i(} 3 KrVSG, corcor85 and raven123 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
