Time off

[tbarrett 0]

I have only taking off for a week after my surgery. I know everyone is different but can you post how long you took off and circumstances surrounding your time please. Just trying to understand and prepare for best and worse case. Thank you.

I had what I would consider a VERY easy recovery. By a week I would have been OK but exhausted. At 10 days I went back to school, which consisted of a 5 hour class where I sat followed by a 4 hour lab where I stood a lot and by the end I was completely wiped out.

I went back to work 2 weeks after surgery, desk job in a medical building.

Run around quite a bit but curtailed that part a bit the 1st week back.

Could have been back at 10 days but glad I took the 2 weeks as I started back to 50-60 hr weeks right away.

I took 4 weeks off, and honestly, I needed every second. I had a very easy recovery, no problems whatsoever, but fatigue was tough. Everyone's different, though, so you may be perfectly fine with a week off. Best of luck with your recovery!
