vdub_tx 92 Posted February 13, 2014 I'm taking a week. I probably could get away with less but I would like to have some sort of comfort with my routine before I go back to work. I figure I can always go back early if I am feeling up to it but it's harder to take extra days. 1 WantHealthyLife reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jallsop 39 Posted February 14, 2014 I'm actually taking 5 wks. I have a TON of sick time and I figured, why not....mine as well use it. I haven't had more than a week off at a time from work since my last son was born 4 yrs ago. I am a RN and I have a very physical job so I really want to be healed before going back. 1 kkrose reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkrose 15 Posted February 14, 2014 How many days are you guys taking off after surgery? My surgeon just told me to take a couple.. I'm taking off 3 weeks but really hope to be back in 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BentleyConnorMom 4 Posted February 14, 2014 I plan on taking 4 weeks off, due to what my profession is, but I think it will be good to have the extra time off. I heard someone had surgery on a Wednesday, then went back on that friday!! Lord I couldn't do that lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleevingItBehind 6 Posted February 16, 2014 March 10....yikes! Lisa J, we will be sleeve twins. I'm taking 4 weeks. Doc says he will release office workers in 2 if necessary, but really feels 4 are necessary to learn new plumbing. Also, I have rheumatoid arthritis and a lot of mobility/fatigue issues, so a little extra TLC can't hurt. 1 delove32 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
